And yet, look at the stark contrasts between the 2 states. I wonder what the reason for that is...
At least in Texas they go on to promising careers in the SEC /sarcasm
Welcome to the new America. A nation stolen.
New York’s 3rd place finish is entirely due to NY City and its lovely diversity.
Yet for some reason, most of the country looks to California for educational policy, practice, and curriculum....
Texas has a chance to catch up with California.
Well duh....California...drove thru nearby town...Watsonville....hey look! A white! (everyone else seems Mexican....didn’t used to be that way....Salinas....Mexican....some probably legal....
How bad would the state be if 100% graduated, considering government public schools in CA are jammed with leftist socialist, brain-washing Communist and sexual deviate predators
So maybe this is a good thing.
Si Senor. Which way to the welfare offeece?
And it would appear that the vast majority of CA politicritters come from that group.
But, no one can out-dumb*ass Maxine.
What the article REALLY says, is that California has become Mexifornia....come here and you will see....and they vote for free sh*t, which means Dems....and now the Dems have automatic voter registration and legalized vote harvesting. Calif has as much chance of electing Repubs now, as Venezuela has of voting out Madero and his gang.
That’s the way it is in blue states and regions:
They have the most uneducated, the most felons, the most illegals, the most on welfare, and the most dead -— and they ALL vote every election, even if it is the next day when their votes are still needed!!!
Wow! And they somehow look down on southern states as being ignorant. Liberals are nothing if not hypocrites.
Californy Ya don’t say. What fer are they spend’n all them thar taxes on?
By my last business trip to San Fran, I’m not the least surprised. The street rats were out in full force.
... and the California Teacher’s Union is permanently entrenched in it’s criminality ...
Edumakashun!.............
I went to school in both Cali and the south.
Cali schools were two years behind.
This was in the 80’s.
