I live in rural South Carolina and I can't tell you how much we try to get funding from foundation. We are always turned down because we are not the foundation's focus area. I wonder when will the begin to see the correlation between our low test scores, high school graduation/dropout rates, drunk driving fatalities/arrest, infant mortality, domestic violence, poor health stats, high HIV/AIDS rates, and anything else bad we are at the top of the list for. I know how the American Indians (Native Americans) feel to be pushed off onto a dirt mound and let to survive on your own. It's a shame and I thank you for addressing the issue. This article clearly needs a larger viewing audience. Thank you so much for researching this hot button topic for rural america.
