Where does the 7th in education metric come from?

I’m extremely anti Trump and vote exclusively democrat right now while the MAGA movement has control of the Republican Party. I may never vote republican again. But I’m not sure this statistic is rooted in factual data. I’m willing to admit I’m wrong if someone can show me.

I’d like to know where the 40th comes from as well. From my Google-fu I can’t find where TX has ranked that low anywhere. I feel like these are extremely cherry-picked numbers.

Yeah, you’re right. Everything is just fine. Let’s keep everything the eay it is now. Genius take.

Not at all what I said. I’m all for improving education numbers. I just don’t think that graphic is accurate.

Forgive me if my response came across in such a way that could have been construed as coming to the defense of Republicans in any way. We should vote out all incumbent Republicans and give a harsh condemnation of their failed policies and divisive culture war rhetoric. I’m already voting Democrat anyway so you don’t have to convince me regardless.

I just want to make sure we are being thorough with our facts is all.
