To be fair to Kansas, the Republicans there destroyed their education system. Which allows them to run the state, and no matter what they do--they'll continue getting reelected.

People need to remember that when Republicans at the national level say that such things will be funded and managed at a state level, they're lying - at least in areas controlled by batshit Republicans.

This is a state that needs a wall built around it.

Well just think how much better it would be if it wasn't grossly underfunded. There seems to be quite the low bar if a criminally underfunded system still ranks 14th.

In addition, look at the bottom 20 or so states, then go and look at what party controls most of them.

Dunno, but I do believe there is a negative correlation between teaching bullshit and knowing how the fuck things work in the real world.
