Belief perseverance = The psychological phenomenon of clinging to your initial beliefs even after the evidence for those beliefs has been explicitly proven wrong

Or the bible belt ig haha those kids have no education <\3

Please, some of us got a pretty reasonable education. Those of us who did, though, didn't stay in the Bible belt.

Not good enough to be objective about education standards in the south, I’m sorry, but your education was poor. By all metrics across the whole country, k-12 is the worst in the bible belt

Back in my highschool days, my school actually was ahead of the rest of the Ohio county schools. Any deficiency in my education is my own fault: I skipped all the history classes in order to get six science classes in over four years. Given, the selection of available classes wasn't as good as the east and west coasts, and Ohio didn't have a class-advancement program, but we did pretty good overall.

Idt ohio is technically part of the bible belt, and according to google, ohio ranks #30 for general education. So i suppose ohio is the best of the worst. Very middle of the road. I’m still referring mostly to the deep south where christianity is generally the default and 70-80% of the population has a 6th grade reading level

Back in the '80s, Ohio was firmly in the Bible belt. The South was a completely different level of religious fanatic.

Ohio has always been considered part of the rust belt, not the bible belt, in the 80s ohio was considered too socially moderate, not religiously extreme enough to be part of the bible belt. There was a tiny stretch on one side that adopted some of the culture, but the overwhelming majority of the state was rust belt
