Inflation is always caused by an expansion of the money supply. So if by "fake and gay" you mean a result of shitty government policy, then yes, it is artificially created and not a product of the invisible hand of supply/demand.
It is still real when people's wages take time to catch up, and it causes their standards of living to decline.
School enrollments are down for a separate issue, people are pulling their kids from CRT public schools that were exposed during the scandemic. This is best explored fully as a separate topic.
Point is, while declining populations can create deflation, which is what you're getting at, the US population is NOT declining due to immigration, legal and illegal.
