Poverty and stupidity go hand in hand

The state of Louisiana is run by #republicans and voted exclusively republican for the White House since 2000.  

Recently, their most important priority in education was to vote a law requiring the public school to post, in the classrooms, the Ten Commandments. 

Louisiana is one of the poorest states in the country with over 18% of the population living under the poverty line. It’s the 3rd state in the nation with the most crimes. 

In fact Louisiana ranked No. 50 in the 2024 best states rankings. The Pelican State placed 50th in crime and corrections. It was 47th in education, 46th in health care and 49th in the natural environment. It was also 49th in the economy, 41st in fiscal stability, 49th in infrastructure and 44th in opportunity.

Louisiana is in 3rd place in teen pregnancy in the nation.
