Roadkill:

Do you think you could find a stat anywhere that puts Mississippi above
Wisconsin in Educational performance?
It's pretty obvious that Red State give public education a lower priority. I think the proof is in the pudding.

Roadkill,

OK, I see your point. But I'm not sure that these test are "required" by any state?

You are probably correct to not accept these results totally on face value. I think Josh's argument about SATs also has implications concerning the results posted.
My point is that Blue States value education more (so far) and this probably projects a psychological benefit to their citizens. In other words, Red State culture is promotes education less.
Is that scientific, no, but I think it's true and accurate.

Don't forget that this was posted in response to an OTBL post that showed
a hereoic American Marine from the a Red state and what appeared to be bizzarrely attired revelers ( I think the implication was that they were in a Gay Pride parade ) from a
Blue state. I think this fall I'll be able to go to any state on any Sunday and find bizzarely dressed revelers. (At any NFL Football Game)
