College professors want SAT tests back cause too many stupid kids get in and are stupid

The tiktok/twitter/youtube videos showing random people struggling (and quite plausibly are just pretending for a viral video) to read isn't anything to go off of.

The US test scores are down and have been in decline since it's peak in roughly 2012 ish.

Blue and Red states like Minny, CO, MA & UT, ID and Iowa usually score excellently relative the nations averages

Blue and Red states in NM and WV both score terribly relative to the nations averages

In general from my eye test, it is HARD to find rural areas and small towns / small cities with good school systems, I tried to find some and outside of some university towns it's quite rare, in general the best school districts in this country are in the suburban areas of major metro areas.
