It's funny you should mention California's education system.

California dropped from the top of the list to the bottom as soon as they passed Prop. 13 in 1978, which lowered property taxes to a fraction of what they were, and effectively made it impossible to raise them.

California schools were destroyed by Prop. 13, not by it's "blue"-ness.

I am sorry, thats just to easy, I cannot agree. .......I think you are missing another angle here , a few in fact; immigration, priorities.

and overall, I think we have put to bed the k-12 money= good education mantra....

More money doesn't equal better education - that's true.

But LESS money does mean a worse education.

I'm not saying Prop. 13 is the ONLY reason that California is falling apart - but it's certainly a big part.

Thanks for the teachers' union false talking point. Proposition 13 saved THE WHOLE STATE from being destroyed. People were paying HUGE property taxes - eg $10,000 on run of the mill homes. It became clear that there was LITERALLY no limit to the greed of democrat state legislators. Old people on fixed incomes were being forced out of homes they'd lived in for many years because they didn't have enough money to feed the voracious liberal greed machine. Finally, people of all political persuasions said enough. In spite of this, even with a 12%+ unemployment rate and the state teetering near bankruptcy, government employees here are lavishly compensated, with teachers averaging $62K for nine months plus defined benefit pensions, unheard of for non-government workers. The schools budget crisis actually results from the warm welcome to MILLIONS of illegal alien invaders here by a succession of lib and RINO governors.
