(CNSNews.com) - California once again ranked No. 1 among the 50 states for the percentage of its residents 25 and older who have never completed ninth grade and 50th for the percentage who have at least graduated from high school, according to new five-year estimates (2014-2018) released Thursday by the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

California, as CNSNews.com reported last year, also ranked No. 1 for the percentage who never completed ninth grade and No. 50 for the percentage who had graduated from high school in the five-year estimates (2013-2017) the Census Bureau released in December 2018.

They don't need no education.  They are on the state dole.

1. Nuisance was elected Goobernor in 2018.

2. A high percentage of illegals have little or no education, and there are on the order of 3M illegals living in CA.

So as awful as Nuisance has been as a Goobernor and as mediocre or worse as CA's public education system is, a large percentage of the problem with under-educated people in CA comes down to decades-old sanctuary policies and a climate more pleasant than Phoenix or Chicago.

And in Place #2 is Texas. Do those two states have something in common?

Yup, I was going to say that it gave us one of the more accurate counts of illegals in the state.

So those completing school are educated otherwise they're not? More brainless blather.
The Ancients grasped that 'we educate ourselves' or we don't.
Schools, grades, degrees and all the rest are meaningless ornaments signifying nothing.
From Eden till the late Renaissance, Man was self-educated w/achievements in Art and
Science that remain unmatched down thru history.
Then we moderns ushered in structured education and preceded to utterly embarrass ourselves.
