    Oh, brother!!!!

    You must spend all day trolling 4chan and reddit, browsing conspiracy theories and crackpot claims, in between reading clickbait.

    Which is what this is.

    Yes and I asked what the demographics were.

    Can you tell us what the demographics are?

    I've never visited 4chan and reddit, but since your the one that brought them up might mean that you spend all day trolling 4chan and reddit, browsing conspiracy theories and crackpot claims, in between reading clickbait.

    Schools with white and Asian students fare far better than black and hispanic students.

    Obviously the tests are racist.

    You did no such thing. I replied to your post below where you made a blanket statement that blue states don’t value a quality education. You made no mention about demographics. But I see you’re trying to move the goal posts. Not one bit surprising.
    Btw...4 of the top 5 are blue states. Guess they do value quality education.

    We need school choice badly, unfortunately the LW only wants choice when it comes to killing a baby.

    The Founders didn't seem to have an issue with killing babies either.

    "After America separated from Great Britain and the Founding Fathers made their own brand-new and unique government, they still preserved and protected the legal position against abortion. This fact is made clear by founding father James Wilson. James Wilson was one of only six Founders who signed both the declaration and the Constitution. He was the second most active member at the Constitutional Convention, and he was placed as an original justice on the US Supreme Court by President George Washington.



    Wilson began America's first organized legal training, and he authored our first legal textbook for students in which he told law students, quote, with consistency, beautiful, and undeviating, human life, from its commencement to its close, is protected by the common law. In the contemplations of law, life begins when the infant is first able to stir in the womb by the law that life is protected, end quote.



    American law was clear. As soon as it was known that there was life in the womb, at that point, that life was protected by law for the purpose of government was to protect all unalienable rights, including that of life. In the Founders' day, they recognized that there was a right to life in the womb, so soon as James Wilson said, quote, the infant is first able to stir. That is, when movement can be felt inside and, thus, they knew for sure that there was indeed life within. But with today's technology, it is now possible to know with a certainty that life is within the womb for only a few days after conception.



    Regardless, whenever it is known that life was within, according to the documents penned by our Founding Fathers, at that point, unborn life was to be protected under the law."

    Lots of blue states at the top and lots of red states at bottom.

    Your reply is hilarious in its ridiculousness.

    I know I read the list and was wondering what exactly they were bragging about.

    It was an attempt at humor, but I understand it was a reach...

    There is no counter argument to post #24.... it was just a desperate cry for medication...

    As if liberals can claim they don't.

    I went to high school in California, specifically at a "California Distinguished School". 42% of my high school class couldn't read at an 8th grade level, nor could they grasp basic mathematics.

    I literally had to torment my high school English teachers into accepting my personal curriculum because I wasn't going to waste my time repeating the 4th grade for the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th time.

    All school districts are independently run and able to levy taxes.

    No state that I'm aware of has a "state school system", unless it is a situation in which local government has failed to the point that the state deems fit it take over a failing district.

    Texas does have a unique(to my experience) method of equalization, in which "wealthy" areas receive almost zero state education funding, while "poorer" areas receive a substantial boost.

    Fairfax, Loudoun and Montgomery are affluent counties and most children of all races do well there. Northern Virginia and Maryland are pretty left leaning, also. I'd call NOVA purple, if not blue.
