"Do they not teach in the South why the Dixiecrats jumped ship in the 1960s and migrated to the GOP party?"

Dunno. I was around when it happened and it takes time to write history books.

"Do they not explain Reagan's southern strategy?"

Ditto. However, I do expect it gets covered on the college level. Dubious about public school.

A total of two Dixiecrats became Republicans.

Gore's daddy, Carter, Byrd, Clinton's mentor Fulbright, all the rest stayed Democrats.
