Been to WV many times. The only thing more shocking than the school forcing kids to attend revival is that one (or more) of the parents were upset enough to sue. By far the most religiously brainwashed state I've ever been to.

Don't have to, I spent 24 years in TN lol. Been all over the South but no state was as bad for me as West Virginia

Holy moly, come visit me for a month. I’m willing to admit you might be right but it’s hard to conceive of it.

I blame the mountains, limiting access to the outside world.
