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.
