Stupid Bowl Champions, Indeed

Right now, only 5 states do not have collective bargaining for educators and have deemed it illegal. Those states and their ranking on SAT scores are as follows:
  • South Carolina – 49th
  • North Carolina – 38th
  • Georgia – 48th
  • Texas – 45th
  • Virginia – 34th
 Wisconsin ranks 2nd. For now.

The odds of my moving there and raising children there are about 0%, so if Wisconsin is determined to add "making sure their children get dumber and dumber" to the list of what's made them famous, along with Potsie Webber and heroically wearing cheese on one's head, that's fine with me.  It's a free country - your right to be stupid is as sacred as my right to avoid you, and if the Midwest, ie the heartland of "real" America, is miffed that it's not as stupid as the South, it's quite welcome to challenge the region's dominance.
