This is a really astonishing claim:
Students in Mississippi & Louisiana score higher on reading tests than students in California & New York despite spending way less money per pupil and having higher child poverty rates.
Decided to double check the data because, if true, this should be alarming for blue state leaders.
And yup, it checks out.
Reading performance (NAEP 2024, Grade 4 reading, average scale score):
Mississippi: 219
Louisiana: 216
New York: 215
California: 212
Child poverty (SAIPE; “estimated percent of people age 0–17 in poverty,” 2023):
Louisiana: 25.2%
Mississippi: 24.3%
New York: 18.6%
California: 15.0%
Per-pupil spending (public K–12 “current expenditures per pupil,” FY2023, inflation-adjusted to FY2023 dollars)
New York: $29,588
California: $18,568
Louisiana: $14,822
Mississippi: $12,238
It should be unacceptable to spend that much more taxpayer money while delivering worse results for students.
Has someone who is intimately involved in export and overseas investments, the assertions @Microinteracti1 make are ridiculous. There has always been a sharp left word pull of Europeans against the more middle of the road USA.
Europe was once the cradle of Christianity. No more
@christopherrufo@megbasham This thread is spot on. Both of you are correct. Protestantism as a public movement to impact policy collapsed after the late-1980s scandals. But something else was at play – most of their adherence did not send their own children to institutions that kept the faith.

Slapdown: Dept. of Ed, Office for Civil Rights says UPenn violated Title IX when it allowed men in women's sports
To resolve it, OCR says UPenn has to stop breaking the law, give the girl athletes their awards and titles back, and say they're sorry:
Why? Because ranked choice voting has worked so well in NYC? This disaster brought us Bill De Blasio and Mayor Adams?
RCV incentivizes fringe political groups ( ie Working family party) to run many candidates; pledge to support each other in the RCV. Ideology over candidate.
This is tragic.
#SCOTUS is facing unprecedented issues of child, mutilation, gender, transformation, etc. The court needs to step up and protect women and children.
PERIOD
@bethanyshondark Yes, this Montgomery County, where parents challenged school policy allowing staff to "socially transition" students to the opposite sex - using new names, new pronouns - all behind their parents' backs.
They lost: https://t.co/lYZRtxzOhn
@Gryph911@cryptodebutante I’ve read the arguments for a red-blue civil war. The one thing I don’t follow is where the ex-military folks get leadership.
What prior civil wars have taught us is that the side that does the uprising needs a central figurehead. There simply isn’t anyone out there today.
Couldn’t agree more with @SethDillon
For the culture to change and we’d change surgeries for children to disappear, we need to see prison time for surgeons.

School’s transgender protocols were “curricular and administrative”, over which the parents had no say

@eugyppius1 I thought it was really strange that the stock market responded positively on Monday. Dax strongest day of a year or two at least. Stock market is telling us that gridlock is the inevitable result which means open borders and no deportations.
