As a teacher, I would ask my students, Would you rather be called "stupid" or "ignorant"? I would then explain that ignorant means you don't know, and stupid means you can't learn. I think WV is ignorant because most people here watch too much FOX news. I have a son who is an ardent believer in all that Fox says. How he turned out that way when the rest of my kids are of the "liberal" persuasion, I don't know. Could be the fact that he is a white male and this state is extremely chauvinistic.
