Everyone surprised by this really baffles me. As someone who went to school here I thought it would be closer to 60%. Ever heard of "no child left behind"?

Anyone have the stats on what percentage voted Trump or didnt vote at all?

It's not a new study though, it's kind of old.

What's a good example of a 6th grade reading level?

(Also I old.reddit-ed that link and it took me to a post in r/funny titled 'nice hat' with an old picture of Lady Gaga, for some reason?)
