There are a lot of very poor correlations made here, VERY poor.

I only know enough Spanish to greet the janitor at work, and even then it's a cordial "amigo!" as we pass one another, a smile and a handshake.

However, I'm an avid trombone player who can read and transpose bass, treble and tenor clef and even taught a group of friends a lot about music theory as we sat around a bong one night in college. A lot of the implied correlations in that chart, statistical or not seem to have political leanings.

Upvoted for tenor clef!

I enjoyed looking at the table and found myself bouncing between the left and right column quite a bit.

I think what these types of articles really illustrate is that education can be another form of bling.
