Pure BS. Graduating card-carrying communists from high school and college is not "education." It's a breeze to get a degree in worthless "studies" that lead nowhere in real life.
I'd wager you find a higher fraction of kids graduating in Red states with solid degrees in demand by employers or trade-school graduates who are in high demand and make excellent wages.
Your purple-haired, nose-ringed, tatted-up graduate in gender studies screaming "From the river to the sea" at a Blue state university MIGHT be able to flip burgers after graduating. But those jobs are disappearing because the Blue states have mandated burger flippers get $20/hour.
In mid 1990’s my sister was living here in Calif with her kids. The oldest was in 7th grade. I was helping him with his homework and told him to redo an essay he wrote because it was messy. He refused and said his teacher wouldn’t care. I was so angry at him. He brought home the messy paper and it received a perfect grade! Such BS. I was glad my daughter was not in public school.
Oregon is number 48 in the country and one of the highest costing states.
They like to imagine that the negatives in education, crime, earnings, health, and child poverty are because of stupid, violent, fat white rednecks, when in reality, those things are over-represented in the black population.
