My best guess is to scan it and adjust the colors in Photoshop Do you have it in digital format already?
I think the only thing surprising about that map is Texas' graduation rate. I thought for sure their map would look more like LA, MS, AL, etc.
Offutt air force base is there, was the first place the president went to post 9/11. It would be blown off the map for sure.
With the important distinction that STRATCOM is at Offutt. It's what controls our nuclear weapons and major missile defense systems. Bellevue would be FUCKED.
When the state board made "God did it" an acceptable answer to any science question, it made passing those classes a lot easier.
Not that surprising for the rural South. My sister teaches in a rural school in SC and the school is K-12. She says that during certain times of the year it's a challenge to get kids to come to school because their parents need them out working in the fields and helping provide for the family. So a lot of these kids get held back due to missing classes or something along those lines and then just stop bothering coming to school when they legally don't have to go anymore.
But it's still the Midwest so there is that major drawback. Plus it seems it's not too difficult to graduate in the Midwest.
in defense of the dakotas, there are just no more than 2.5% non-whites there so they cant ever get to 5%
There are European countries without McD's?! Is that Bulgaria, a former Yugoslav country, or Romania? Or all three.
All of China's neighbors in the South China Sea are highly concerned about China's aggressive actions in the region. There is territory that is disputed (in some cases by as many as 4 nations), and China is ignoring the other countries claims to that territory in order to build artificial islands on top of coral reefs there to install military air/naval bases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_South_China_Sea Spoiler
Proof that people are stupid and scared. A relatively small uprising of a militant group halfway across the world is the biggest concern for Americans. Fuckin' A. I feel bad for people who wake up in the morning and think "Fuck! ISIS is still around?! Better watch my back today"
