Yes, because "focusing on education" means everyone gets a STEM degree?
Education takes a variety of forms including high tech manufacturing, healthcare, business and entrepreneurial enterprises, higher education and teaching, green energy and technologies, etc.
Having a highly educated workforce will allow the midwest to better compete on the global markets.

> college is for homos
> learning is stupid
> school is dumb
Just sheer ignorance at this point.
