[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the schools are good, then who cares about the politics of the state? Honestly, too many are too loud about politics. Go to the school that is the best fit for you and love your life!

All of this political hand-wringing is ruining our nation.[/quote]

[b]if the schools are great and GOP politicians decide to cut education funding for said schools, that impacts the quality of teaching and other resources for said school, not?
If the schools are great, but a co-ed can be thrown in jail for having a miscarriage, that seems problematic, no?[/b][/quote]

Well then just don't go!  For the life of me, I can't figure out why people from other parts of the country scream and cry about the politics of the sunbelt states, yet still move down here in droves.

Guys, if you don't like the values and politics associated with area DON'T MOVE HERE![/quote]

1) Many are baby boomer retirees and don't care anymore as their kids are graduated.  2)[b] Others moved during the pandemic for remote working before it became fully apparent how draconian the policies are.  The abortion policies, banning books and education that makes people uncomfortable etc. were a surprise after people moved. [/b] [/quote]

Dude, this is a phenomena that has been going on for decades.  And people who live in these areas are sick of it.  If you don't like the culture of where your moving to, don't go.  There are tons of blue places to move to instead. [/quote]

In Florida? Not really. It was pretty purple for a long time. The cities are still blue. I can see how it was an attractive option during the pandemic (stuff is open! kids are in school!) and then it started getting pretty ridiculous after Dobbs and the 2022 election. [/quote]
