Overall, it’s an educational problem. Those who voted for Trump and the MAGA voters.

Unfortunately the Southern States don’t seem to have the educational funds needed to hire top notch teachers.

I once spent time helping a 25 year old from Louisiana learn how to read. He grew up on a cattle farm and knew a great deal about farming.

He came aboard a ship as a deck hand.

He couldn’t read at a first grade level. I purchased some books. I taught him on my breaks.

He was interested.

He didn’t keep the job long. There were issues ashore. I lived in a different state. I gave him the books and asked him to find someone to continue teaching him. I hope he did.
