If Mississippi can read, and California can't, the future of Silicon Valley might be in red states.

  California is an economic powerhouse because people who could read (and more) moved to California for opportunity, not because they were educated in California.

    Perhaps. Growing up though in the 70's, it was well known that California public schools ranked best in the country.

  I know why saying those words makes you feel good in the moment, but read them back to yourself and imagine how they sound to someone who's not coming from that same place as you.

    I'm not an American, whats wrong with what he said? If my areas reading score was plummeting I'd worry about our future viability, what is wrong with that?

  Silicon Valley is full of immigrants. Any place that actively dislikes them and is hostile to them is probably not going to replace it. And contrary to popular narrative, the Bay Area boast school districts in the country. And if you look at top school districts in the country by any measurable metric, most of them are in blue states. I think Silicon Valley will be fine where it is.
