And speaking of "misinformation", more Repugs are suspended from Twitter than Democrats because they spread more BULLSHIT. https://www.newsnationnow.com/busine...-takes-a-look/ But this isn't surprising because most of them believe more bullshit.

"Among the list of 23 schools, there are 10 high schools, eight elementary schools, three Middle / High schools and two Elementary / Middle schools. And it's important to note, another 20 Baltimore City Schools had just one or two students test proficient in math. ".
Also, why are you talking about Maryland's state graduation rates? This is about Baltimore city.
Democrat-controlled Baltimore city public education receives far higher funding per student than the rest of Maryland (the third highest of any district in the entire country) and yet its results are terrible as we can see.
Again, now that your usual leftist canard of "muh funding" has been proven false, how do you explain this?

Posts: 1282Foxy News and "the big lie" finally bit them in the ass?
Foxy Muse, shows its real colors, as damning emails reveals, from the Dominion Voting Systems law suit court filing, that they once again, are nothing more than the sham and fraudulent news media, we've also known them to be. One without an once of any type of journalistic integrity.
The emails show, that behind closed doors, between executives and their big on-air-pundits, that no matter what, they continue to perpetrate "the Big Lie" and the fake MAGA election claims, that was inevitably more appealing to their ratings and bottom line, than it was to tell the nation, the truth.
Naturally, it wasn't very hard to sell to the gullible masses of QAnon\Repubs\MAGA insurrectionist supporters on the right, as they bought "the Big Lie" ...hook, line and sinker.
"Incredibly damning": Legal experts say Dominion already has "staggering" evidence against Fox

That's Foxy Muse, they will always chose lies for the sake of ratings over the truth, every time. I think one politician said it best (or facsimile), "Fox News is nothing more than a state own media company, an extension of the Republican party" (Note: This was while or since Trump took office).

Don't worry though, if enviably, he ends-up calling you the "D-bag" word insult. You won't be the first and you probably won't be last.

Red states like Mississippi and Louisiana are commonly at the bottom illiteracy and literacy rate tables. Period.

As to your defense of Maryland and the Baltimore school system, which you make solely because they're blue, Chris is right. Maryland is probably in the top 5 in the nation in advanced degrees and income per capita, because of all the high level, highly paid employees of the federal government, government contractors, and lobbyists and think tanks and the like. Yet still many of the schools are a laughingstock.

Btw, "Reciprocal" doesn't mean what you think it does.
Also, when you say that red states are common at the bottom of the wisevoter list, yeah, you're right. Iowa, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana, and Alaska are all in the bottom 10, of the LEAST illiterate states, according to wisevoter.

Illiteracy Rate by State
https://wisevoter.com/state-rankings...rate-by-state/
Your link of "literacy rates" is only showing the reciprocal of what I already showed you, with illiteracy rates, but using slightly different metrics.
