re: For the second year in a row, U.S. News ranks Louisiana as the nation’s worst state

Republicans control every level of this state right now and are doing nothing of note to improve our ranking.

That helps. For over a century democrats held the power in Mississippi. Result?? 50th 50th 50th 50th 50th 50th 50th 50th 50th……year after year.. decade after decade.

Then the Republicans took a majority and then a supermajority. Result??

Back in 2021, the last time nationwide rankings were released by Education Week as part of the organization’s Quality Counts report, Mississippi ranked 35th out of 50 states in education. Graduation rates are turning around. State and national testing grades are turning around.


So it helps when the people of the state wise up.
