SUCK IT, MISSISSIPPI.

Amazingly enough South Carolina, Georgia and Florida don't make the list and keep the South from making a clean sweep.

Also, as if we needed any more reason to kick Indiana out of the B1G......

there is a very high correlation between the dumbest states and red states, as well as the smartest states and blue states.

Anyone who voluntarily cloaks themselves in the color blue can't really be all that smart.

Actually, Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail explained why Indiana has always been something of an odd man out among Great Lakes states. All of the Great Lakes states, except Indiana, were settled and homesteaded by an East>West migration from the Northeast. Indiana was settled and homesteaded predominately from the deep South, particularly Georgia and S. Carolina. It's amazing how over a century and a half later that influence is still so pronounced.

i think anyone who cloaks him or herself in either red or blue and doesn't seek a purple solution can't be all that smart.

moreover, i think the red-blue dichotomy is purposely thought-terminating (

).

That's it, the first thing I noticed when going through this list was that the states that depended more on agriculture and mining have less need for college educated individuals. That's why I believe that calling these states "dumb" is dumb in itself. I believe there's other factors that play into this list as well.

so you really want to go down the road where we discuss the ways and the reasons why, on average, citizens of red states lag so far behind the blue states in education, health, wealth, etc.?
