More than 400 schools in the state have shuttered for at least one day due to the virus. Three other states in the South were in the top four — Georgia, Kentucky and Texas.
Both Tennessee and Texas have blocked school districts from enforcing mask mandates while Georgia and Kentucky have let individual districts decide.
The CDC notes in the study published Friday that many districts in the South start class earlier than other parts of the country, increasing opportunities for COVID cases to appear. Researchers also point out that schools had different thresholds for when to close.
Still, the CDC says that more than 900,000 students have been affected by the closures nationwide. It recommends vaccination, universal indoor masking and social distancing to prevent further outbreaks in schools.

So, in the race to the bottom, the South once again shines its pathetically dim light.

Parents from Memphis K-12 schools are in Nashville demanding of gov Lee that virtual option be allowed to save kids' lives!

or just plain stupidity, but yea the south is ruling this rush to the bottom. 
Much of it is gullability, but also red legislators outlawing fully virtual school programs, masks, vax mandates, etc.
While the qpukes openly profit from ineffective treatments.
