Republicans have been exploiting Southern voters ever since Nixon learned from George Wallace how to use the words "States' Rights", "quotas"', and "traditional [family] values". I say "exploited" because the Republican party merely pays lip service to the concerns of the majority of conservative Southern voters while fiscally raping them in every way possible. As long as the South continues to have the nation's worst schools, its citizenry will continue to suffer from a dirth of crical thinkers and continue to be conned. Why would the Republican Party be interested in education reform when it would weaken its political base?
