3. New York

Note, all blue.

The states folks are moving to?

1) Vermont
2) Oregon
3) Idaho

Not all red.
It's a well researched project by CNBC, the financial website, with no fucking political agenda whatsoever. In fact, the top expert there for years was Larry Kudlow...MAGA asshole. The CNBC ratings are about overall living conditions including healthcare, crime, bigotry, social safety net issues and other meaningful criteria.

Nobody gives a shit in your MAGA hat for where people are moving from and where they are moving to. Your information is simple numbers and anything out there on the reasons for coming or going are a matter of speculation and opinion.

PS - two of your three states that people are moving to are blue states, you idiot.

How could 200,000 college educated workers moving to Texas each year possibly be wrong? It depends on how you look at it. With the nation’s highest percentage of people without health insurance and the second lowest number of primary care physicians per capita, all those new Texans are arriving to find a dismal health care system. Texas has the nation’s thirteenth-highest violent crime rate, and it ranks thirty seventh for licensed childcare facilities per capita.

Strawman argument 2: "often code words for things like CRT". Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar,” Sigmund Freud once said. Sometimes poor scores are really just poor scores, and the only thing that they indicate is underperformance.
Strawman argument 3: "Maybe they could institute the curriculum used in those underperforming red southern states?" If you actually bothered to look at the info in the link provided, you might have noticed that "red southern states" like Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas all are outperforming California.
MAGAt's like you
Undoubtedly
often code words
The operative word here is often. As opposed to always.
the only thing that they indicate is underperformance
Said "underperformance" has to be the result of something, no?
"red southern states" like Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas all are outperforming California.
Bottom 10 states in EDUCATION
Tennessee -41
Florida -42
N. Carolina-43
Oklahoma -44
S. Carolina -45
Alabama -46
New Mexico-47
Nevada -48
Louisiana -49
Arizona -50

Surprisingly Arkansas and Georgia are above the bottom ten on the list, ahead of Cali. Maybe the rest of those red states could get a clue too.
