About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

The Opportunity Index

The Opportunity Index provides an Opportunity Score with economy, education, and community sub-scores for all 50 U.S. states and Washington, DC, and Opportunity Grades for more than 3,000 counties. You can also compare each state's score with the national average.

The annual Opportunity Index was started by Opportunity Nation, a campaign by Be the Change, out of the idea that "your zip code shouldn't determine the amount of opportunity available to you."
