The article is paywalled so I can't read it, but I don't believe for a second that Mississippi has better educational outcomes than New York. Every single ranking I have seen puts Mississippi in the bottom 3 in terms of educational outcomes, with it usually coming dead last. New York at worst is somewhere in the top half of states, I usually see it in the top 10.

Unfortunately objective reality is never a factor when it comes to zealots and true believers. The facts remains the facts - which is why zealots and true believers seek to abolish standardized testing and objective metrics wherever they are found.
- confidantlake 3y agoOh the irony. You are right the facts don't lie. From the sibling comment. "Mississippi is slightly better on the NAEP 4th grade math test, and substantially behind on all other tests." Come on man, this is Mississippi. You really think it is doing better than New York in education? Only a zealot ranting about bureaucrats and unions could believe such nonsense.
- tetromino_ 3y agoSee data here: https://apps.urban.org/features/naep/ https://apps.urban.org/features/naep/ In terms of raw scores, Mississippi is slightly ahead of New York on the NAEP 4th grade math test, and substantially behind on all other tests. But NAEP claims that if you adjust the raw scores by the state's poverty and other disadvantage level, Mississippi would actually be ahead of NY.
- confidantlake 3y agoCool ty for the info. As I suspected New York is way ahead of Mississippi in everything but a single test.
