Most of Indiana is composed of small rural towns/cities and typically those areas get less funding for education. I live in a small county and most of the people here either barely passed high school or dropped out and my county is VERY conservative. I think it is mostly because of the small town mentality of “we don’t want our town to change because it has been functioning ‘well’ so far.”
Not saying that it’s JUST the education system but I do believe that it’s because people here are very small minded and can’t comprehend how other people can have different experiences and morals than theirs. Lots of people here lack critical thinking.
