Oh good grief! First, I was making a point in response to a post about liberals disparaging the intelligence of Alabama. Second, it would be interesting to see how the PHDs in the two locations break out in terms of subject matter. Most of the PHDs I personally know in Huntsville hold PHDs in something useful, like Physics, or other hard sciences. I wonder how many of the PHDs in Amherst are in hard sciences or engineering. But thanks for taking the time to set the record straight LOL!
Hey, Huntsville, as you well know, is a major center for engineering and research.
It is not exactly a conservative virtue to claim discrimination and bias, however, when as the source article to the original posting of this thread simply cited population-wide statistical differences.
I actually think it was an interesting bit of info. The usual thing is for Southerners to disavow differences in academic scores between states because of the different racial composition of the states. This suggests that that is not the whole picture.
