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.
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)
There'll be war, there'll be peace.But everything one day will cease.All the iron turned to rust;All the proud men turned to dust.And so all things, time will mend.So this song will end.
