Why the heck is Arizona so low!?
Apparently the authors of this list went there because they have DC listed as a state lmao.
While it absolutely should be one, it is not.
Also Mississippi at 39th?
The fuck that 3rd world country is. There is a reason for the saying "Thank God for Mississippi."
The State of Oklahoma shouldn't even exist. It is supposed to be Indian Territory. The USA made and signed treaties with multiple First Nations and then, as usual, broke all of the treaties.
Exactly
I have never once regretted leaving Oklahoma. The chief exports of that state are obesity and alcoholism. This is just them trying to get noticed by senpai, somebody wants a position in the administration.
I want to teach the children of Oklahoma about the sorts of hair styles that Nazi men in the 40s preferred.
Texas: does something extra stupid and fascist.
Oklahoma: "Hold my three point two!"
Florida: When can I join you guys?
Oklahoma has had high point beer and wine in convenience stores for a while now.
Thats how it started in 1930 too
Of course they do they are a MAGAt state. Liars and traitors the majority of them.
I briefly read through the "curriculum" or whatever they want to call it. There is so, so, so much stupid and wrong shit with it.
“I love the poorly educated.”

I wonder what their Social Studies unit on "Indian Territory" looks like.
Fuck Oklahoma.
They could use A1 to do it. They love them their A1 in that state.
Do they? Does he really want this?
