How many of those 'top ten' educated can weld? Drive a semi? Plumb or wire a new house?
Education is determined many ways besides having a degree in "Womens Studies"......

I've met a lot of "educated" dumbasses in my lifetime.
What's your point?

Very True, but are you saying the least educated can do those things?

My point is simple: what makes the South consistently the less educated? It seems something that needs attention.

What needs attention is the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Center for Education Statistics, The Chronicle of Higher Education and U.S. News & World Report.

No, I am saying education can be determined many ways besides having a degree in "Womens Studies".
What part of that is hard for you to understand?

Booyah! Some idiots think the "educated" run the world. Where would they be without electricity, plumbing,food,and 80% of the other things I could mention without those that " uneducated" jobs fill. Back to the caveman days. Then their degrees help them how?

So they can all be more like you…….an educated vindictive sad little man! How many more derogatory SOUTH threads will it take to get over your hurt little feelings! No one is buying your fake concern for the South!

Perhaps part of Rumi’s problem with those uneducated unhealthy Southerners stems from what he was taught! Although he stated that he had only been to the South one time! But then, he also claimed to be a Professor at some still unnamed College……..So, who knows! 🤷🏻♀️

“I grew up in da Bronx. Southerners, in general, were toxic idiots: stupid, mean, and intolerant”
“My mind is it’s own territory! No comfort of belonging. Humans are a species I am studying, not one I belong to. This is real. It has been so all my life, theories and novels more real than anything I encountered in everyday existence.”

Educated in what?
Does "education" lead to productivity?
I ain't "educated", but, if I wanted to, I could drive an 18 wheeler with a 57 foot trailer to your place, and fix your car, your plumbing, build you a porch with outdoor lighting, clean your clock, eat your sack lunch, then weld your doors shut so you can't escape your house. All before lunch.
After that, I can collect, and haul your garbage, fix your road, mow your grass, trim your trees, pump out your septic tank, and stock your grocery store, deliver all the mail in your little piece of paradise, and make it home in time for supper.
But, I'm just a dumb redneck. Right?
