And yet, look at the stark contrasts between the 2 states. I wonder what the reason for that is...

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....

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.

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.

By my last business trip to San Fran, I’m not the least surprised. The street rats were out in full force.

I went to school in both Cali and the south.

Cali schools were two years behind.

This was in the 80’s.
