Quote10 states higher in the rankings

Not bad considering there are 50 states, but current ratings are of no interest to me.  The state rating has fallen.  I was educated in Minnesota when it was higher in the ratings.  At the time of my high school graduation it may have been #1.  Goldilocks time.

Also you have to look at the fact that minorities have not and are not getting the same quality of education.  Prior to present times Minnesota was mostly white, and in that case the ratings handicap resulting from minority inequalities is exaggerated because the % of minorities was actually small.  This skewed the state rating down because the minorities were only being educated to the average US level of competence.  Not below, which makes raw accusations of racism problematic.  Not without merit, but problematic.

I ate out last night.  The restaurant I ate at had Fox news playing.  The blatant lies were over the top, and if America was better educated they would not be taken in by lies presented as easily.  I was amazed.  An entire show dedicated to hating the 'Dems' and nothing else.  No dreams of shiny cities on hills, no dreams of a better life, just pure hate and upper class control of a blissfully ignorant audience presented by talking heads making $200K a year.  Heads who would lie their ass off for a dime.

There are actually Fox news viewers who think the 'Dems' made up the Epstein files from whole cloth.  To be molded into that shape a person must be made from very very soft clay.  Which begs the question.  Do you want to be bamboozeled, and be happy, or be in the know and be miserable.

America prefers happy.  No doubt about it.  I obviously prefer misery.
