Absolutely. Red states "fixed" education so people wouldn't see through them decades ago. Fascism 101. There's an extreme difference in education levels & it explains everything. We need more united & less "states' rights." All kids should get a real education. It protects us all + creates earners.

"The dumbest part of this...is.... Social workers and teachers don’t make a lot of money early in their careers because governments pay them badly." "So the government underpays the job, then turns around and punishes the school that trained you because the job it underpays doesn’t pay enough."
