I'm not going to make any Mississippi jokes, but I'm from Louisiana, and even we make Mississippi jokes.

I think their education system is pretty consistently ranked as the worst in the country, though we wrestle with them for it! Us and Alabama.

Oh come on, the Waterboy's set in Mississippi. I was sure you would have made a joke using that.

....the Waterboy is set in Louisiana, dtewi. You're killing me!

@halogamer1989:

So you don't really see the school system as being an extension of the government, then? I mean, you can't, otherwise this actually would be trampling on somebody's rights

Schools are an extension of the govt but not all schools.  Public of course are.  It really depends on the actions of the good ol boys in the top office down there.  MS ed is really crappy anyway I would agree ;)  I have a political friend who is from MS but now is in NoVA.  Go figure.
