When I first was stationed in Alameda, Ca in the Navy, I remember hearing on the radio half the freshman class at Stanford had to take remedial reading. That was more than 40 years ago so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how far Mejifornia's education "system" as degenerated. 
Now none of us can read.
I had a high school classmate that went to Stanford back then, on his way to becoming a physician.
We are Stupid. Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, Cal-Tech crappy schools.
People from all over the world come here for the crappy weather, ugly outdoors scenery, lack of entertainment, etc.
And the crappy colleges, lousy companies, failing agriculture, and did I mention the lousy weather?
