  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Which is the nadir of the Graph I posted, so the complete opposite of what you said appears to be true.
Your graph shows The dept of education is not as good as it was without it.
I do not trust these stats, they are manipulative in their use.
A copy and paste concerning the "changes" made during that time.
From wiki
"1960s and 1970s: Mean SAT scores decline
By the late 1970s, only the upper third of test takers were doing as well as the upper half of those taking the SAT in 1963. From 1961 to 1977, the number of SATs taken per year doubled, suggesting that the decline could be explained by demographic changes in the group of students taking the SAT. Commissioned by the College Board, an independent study of the decline found that most (up to about 75%) of the test decline in the 1960s could be explained by compositional changes in the group of students taking the test; however, only about 25 percent of the 1970s decrease in test scores could similarly be explained.[19] Later analyses suggested that up to 40 percent of the 1970s decline in scores could be explained by demographic changes, leaving unknown at least some of the reasons for the decline.[33]"

Long gas lines, high food prices, stagnant wages, and a weak and inept military... sounds about right. All that's missing is the harvest gold paint, shag rugs, and Danish modern furniture.
If you are suggesting that Jimmy Carter serves a second term, I hate to break the news to you, but he is nolonger alive.
