Race to the Top Finalists Announced

Hmmmmmmmm...

The Obama administration announced 10 winners today in the second round of the “Race To The Top” stimulus grant competition for education reform: the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Rhode Island.

It may all be on the up and up, but there does seem to be a very heavy bias to the eastern seaboard except for Ohio (battleground state) and Hawaii (Obama’s home state).

Are the schools in states in the deep South and west of the Mississippi just that good or are they that resistant to reform?
