Compare the average level of educational achievement on, say, the left

Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri. Then reevaluate. Thanks.

It's worse than that:

Note, the 21 states that spend the least on education, are all red.



I always get a kick out of the rationalization that education (or money
spent on it) automatically implies"smartness" in people.
There's a lot of stupid people with years of advanced degrees, just as there
are many "smart" people with limited education.

As a former teacher, I agree wholeheartedly. Lots of money spent on
education does not equate to better education.
