I don't know about any other state, but I live in California, and have for my entire life. California used to have the very best school system that actually taught things. Kids used to come out of high school with the ability to write well, spell well and with the ability to balance a check book. That's all changed since the early 60s when the leftist radicals took over state government. Now, our education system is nothing more than made up of Progressive indoctrination centers. The kids coming out of our schools have no historical reference, no command of the English language, and most cannot write a sentence ... they have to print everything. The state has been run by a Democrat majority in the state legislature for way more years than I can remember. Our inner cities look like something out of a third-world country. Want to see a real sewer and hell-hole? Just drive though downtown Los Angeles or San Francisco. We have an unemployment rate of 12.5 % not counting those who have just given up looking. The taxes and regulations on the private sector are driving businesses, jobs and people out of the state in droves. Because of gerrymandering, it is almost impossible to get the entrenched politicians out office. In California, when it comes to the public employees, the unions rule. We are over 20 billion dollars in the hole on a year to year basis, and the total debt owed by California is over 550 billion. And yet ... we are seeing union led protests because of a raise in tuition rates? Gimme a break!
