Because they can be.

Obesity is celebrated, why not stupidity ?

This is worse in states like Minnesota, because of the disproportionate number of Somali that end up here (1 of 3)

The results have been very predictable.

 

The Minnesota DOE has been tweaking the standards required for graduation down (Large Hmong/Somali Population) for decades.

While more students are graduating, a significant number are not reaching grade-level proficiency in math and reading. 
 
For example, in the class of 2023, only 36.3% could do grade-level math. 
 
Minnesota ACT scores continue to decline, and student performance on national assessments is at its lowest point in 30 years. 
 
Some reports indicate that nearly 42% of 10th graders are not reading at grade level.

What he's talking about reminds me of the political spats at this place.

There is a caveat though, people who would otherwise be stupid in this manner, but they have solid (relatively speaking) intuition.
