One thing Red States could improve on is their education. Seriously their K-12 education is dismal. No don’t throw money at it but perhaps show a little importance to it. Everytime I argue with a stupid liberal they throw education in my face and the fact that red states have the worst education. It is annoying.
In Conservative States, the races are more mixed together. Because of the horrid racism of lily-White Democrats in the past Century, they've had to deal with the issue of race for the past 50 years. In many black, Hispanic, and poor white communities, education is of very low importance.
I once read a Sociological report that, if you took 18 Delta counties out of Mississippi (there's 82 counties in the State), they'd be anywhere betweend 20th and 30th in all measurable rankings. That's because the Delta is 75-80% black and they've lived under Democrat rule for hundreds of years.
How is a child suppose to excel at school if they can't even speak the language.
1. Massachusetts(blue) 75.8% white 7.9% black 10.1% latino
2. Maryland(blue) 53.9% white 30% black 8.7% latino
3. New Jersey(blue) 58.2% white 14.7 black 18.5% latino
4. New Hampshire(blue) 91.9% white 1.4% black 3% latino
5. Vermont(blue) 94% white 1.1% black 1.6% latino
the bottom 5 states are :
1.Mississippi(red) 57.6% white 37.4% black 2.9% latino
2.Louisiana(red) 59.9% white 32.4% black 4.5% latino
3.New Mexico(blue) 39.8% white 2.4% black 47% latino
4.West Virginia(blue) 92.9% white 3.5% black 1.3% latino
5.Alabama(red) 66.6% white 26.5% black 4.1% latino
While it is true that the top education states tend to be (blue) Democratic states, they also tend to have MUCH smaller minority populations.
Every IQ test ever devised has shown a significant gap between different races (this is just a fact, so don't accuse me of being racist). So, if some states have much higher percentage of minorities, the states aren't playing on a level playing field when it comes to the education rankings. And this racial gap is especially significant in border states with a high percentage of illegal aliens who's children don't even speak English as a first language.
