Texas is self destructing.

Those states don't produce healthy brains and haven't at any time in the past.

Not at all surprising, though thoroughly disappointing.

"Brain drain" could be the MAGA moto. That said, everyone's still flocking to Texas. Jobs, housing, cost of living is still what it's all about.

College admissions of prestigious colleges/universities should reject students coming from places like Texas and Florida - those students will be far below their peer.

Not to worry. They’ll just hire Sunday school “teachers” to replace them. It’s a win-win for the “keep them stupid” GOP plan.

Russian campaign of tearing US down from within. So many politicians bought or in kompramat situations, I believe.

Why would anyone want to teach in those states? They don’t care about education and are actively trying to destroy public education

I know. Its what Oligarchs want

Go figure. The way they treat teachers is horrible!!! Better treat them better, pay them better and stop letting idiots change your schools!!

A friend went through this pre pandemic, the FL jobs came with a "Cost of Living pay adjustment" - so "more across the country for a paycut" Unpopular to say the least

TY. If you watch and listen to Blackburn and others, you truly see how dems can help the ppl in Red states. But "leaders" in TN and TX, along with KY- cheat. Their system is not honest. Amy McGrath SHOULD HAVE WON. JOHNSON SHOULD HAVE WON. These states need the FBI to investigate.

The two billionaires who own the Texas government don’t want public schools. They believe in religious schools only. Nothing worst than Rick pricks who want to control the masses toward their beliefs.

Judging by voting patterns, the brain drain started long ago.

Not surprised. I did a short thread about my experience there. I couldn’t wait to leave. #EduSky bsky.app/profile/dvnl...

NM is doing that

I've lived in a blue state all my life. Small town from 1-18, small city 19 - 43. I've had far more friends leave for the south or California then come here from elsewhere. I'm just one data point, but population stats over time bear me out.

They don't.... Conservative policy doesn't work, and college educated people tend to understand this. That's why the red states remain poor as dirt. The GOP is desperate to destroy the school system so they can keep their voter base from escaping

Why would anyone want to work in schools that ban books, push religion, and don’t seem to care if kids learn to read?

Mass deportation will destroy all Red States. So I hope the Republicans do exactly what they promised. I beg of you to do this don’t let me down. Just Do It!

True. Some of those schools will be superior to others because the country will still need engineers, doctors (medical personnel in general), and high level technicians.

How GQP WINS. Keep red states dumb and stupid.

The educated are fleeing.

Texas could advertise vacancies for Handmaidens.

Why would the crashing of education *not* be a prime GOP target/goal? The end-game is Verelendung, whether Leninist a la Bannon or the way of DOGE/Musk. You can't have Useful Idiots, Cravers & Grovelers by making them smart (IQ-challenged) & educated. OTOH, Musk moving his HQ's there problematic?

It's a cause and effect world

So the south continues to get stupider

In Tennessee, you no longer need a college degree to teach. All you need is an online accreditation.

red states dont educate they like their voters not able to know they are being lied too and manipulated. educating allows people to think.

Now do OBGYN's...

Republicans want stupid kids. Intelligent kids grow up to be Democrats

So the students will get less education and be even more ignorant than the average American?

Producing low wage earners who dont question anything by limiting their education is exactly what states like Oklahoma and West Virginia are doing.
