True. There only hope may be to start voting Republican .that may help.
By the way, my point wasn’t to blame race entirely for the differences in rankings. But to point out that the rankings should be adjusted to reflect the differences between the students that each state is given to educate.
If a state has a large percentage of blacks, that should be taken into account in the rankings. If a state has a large percentage of people who’s first language isn’t English, that should be taken into account.
I think if the rankings were adjusted to reflect the above, most of the differences between red states and blue ones would disappear.
