Back to School: The Least and Most Educated States in the US​

50. West Virginia​

John Denver sang that West Virginia was "almost heaven" in his infamous 1971 song, "Take Me Home, Country Roads," but when it comes to the three R's — that's readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic, the Mountain State scored just 24.

49. Mississippi​

The Mississippi Delta spawned blues music, but its schools might make you sing the blues! Based on WalletHub's scoring system — which includes high school high school graduation rates, the number of diplomas, degrees, blue ribbon schools, and the quality of schools and universities — Mississippi scores just 26.

Louisiana is famous for its rich French, Spanish, African, and Caribbean culture — reflected in New Orleans' music, their famous Mardi Gras celebration, and the distinctive cuisine of Cajun and Creole dishes including jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, po'boys, and beignets.
But when it comes to education, the Pelican State also suffers from poverty, which lower its education standards to 28.64.

47. Arkansas​

After Bill Clinton put Arkansas on the map, the Natural State has slowly but surely been working on improving its educational standards.
Yet how rural a state is affects its education… and Arkansas is about as rural as you can get without wrestling a pig.
The Natural State scored 30.25 points, which is incredibly low considering Walmart's headquarters in Bentonville has pumped serious money into the region.
Arkansas State University _(Go, Razorbacks!)_ does slightly better, ranking 342 out of 436 national universities.


46. Oklahoma​

"Oklahoma… Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain…" goes the infamous Rogers and Hammerstein song.
39 Native American tribes call oil-rich Oklahoma home, cowboy culture still runs deep. That's about as American as you can get.

Unfortunately, all that oil money got swallowed up by greedy fat cats and didn't filter down to the education system.
Oklahoma's high school graduation and bachelor's degree rates are low, mainly due to the government's decision to lower teacher salaries and slash education funding, pushing schools to the brink of collapse.

Getting the picture?
 
Link would be nice.

Yes:
  1. Liberals think they're smart, but can't figure out what bathroom to use.
  2. Liberals think MAGA is stupid because they got the $100,000/yr job after learning a trade and didn't get the $200,000 debt with their gender studies degree.

1. Trumpers think they're smart but can't stay on topic. Not to mention they get easily triggered by the theme of a thread that puts them in a bad light.
2. Liberals think those who sit behind their computers bragging about making $100,000 a year when they are full of it seem kind of whiny.

I'm perfectly on topic. You just don't like the liberal fart-smelling being challenged.

Total bullshit.

Insecure nonsense.

Insecure nonsense.
If I lived in a less educated state I might feel a bit insecure as well and would get easily triggered if my state was mentioned as one of the more uneducated one.
Besides, I don't know why anyone would be triggered. Despite my lack of higher education I know enough not to make a fool of myself spouting hurt feelings. Don't need schoolin' to know it's best not to look whiny on a debate forum or anywhere else for that matter.

Thanks for your usual nothing. So is every liberal holding in their pee and poop since they are so confused?

What a stupid thing to say.

This liberal spent nearly 30 years on structural steel, Ironworkers Local 97, and was solidly liberal every day of it.
 
To add to the OP, the southern red states usually have the highest violent crime rates per 100,000 residents.

I think it was Kristin Welker on NBC who informed Senator James Lankford (R) this morning that his red state of Oklahoma has a higher violent crime rate per 100,000 than Illinois.

Lankford appeared to be stunned. Shouldn't a state's Senator know these things?

Not if he gets his news from Fox and talk radio.

Nah, Mike Johnson doesn't seem to be aware of it either. He's proud of the gumbo and beignets.
 
The guy who never let his grades be released from Wharton evidently wasn't the "good" student he said he was, but he never let that stop that from scamming his brand and selling it to the easily duped. Of course he loved the "poorly educated." And they fell for it.
