American Redneck Society Formed

Unaware that the National Tractor Pull Association exists and that the Waffle House already has a Facebook page, Rob Clayton has founded the American Redneck Society. “I really felt that American Rednecks are an under-served, but large population that could benefit from a formal membership organization structure,” says Clayton. The $20 membership fee gets you retail discounts across the country, and part of the fee goes toward an educational fund for “rural youth.”

The money goes towards courses in Reaganomics, history using Conservapedia as a textbook, and science that "teaches the controversy."

There's also an OLPC-like program that gives each child a Windows laptop pre-loaded with America's Army and an online subscription to streaming episodes of Glenn Beck, 24, the Speed channel, and pro wrestling games.

Living in San Francisco, a lot of people get the idea of a redneck as "everything I don't like." Uneducated, stupid, votes Republican, etc.

But rednecks themselves don't see it like they. They are people who like country living, laugh at city-slickers who are afraid of dirt and think chicken comes from a store. City folk are wimps who can't handle reality. Here's a good example of the attitude. Eh, here's another good one. You don't find that kind of girl just anywhere. It has nothing to do with education

It goes to buying bibles and farmer's almanacs, of course.

Education?

[BraksDad]

Won't that educate them out oftheir own heritage? Who will pay the way for future red neck children?

I walk among the Rednecks

I'm mildly amused.
First, because Mr. Clayton stepped up and named an organization Redneck "anything".
Next I am amused at the cartoon t.v.land stereotypes you guys attach to them. I guess it proves you like watching "Larry, the cable guy".
Hopefully you "Geeks" take your Mathematics and Science educations more seriously than your "less than public educational quality" information on actual rednecks.
In cities their analogues would be the blue collar guys. Some may have post high school education, but it tends
