U.S. Kids Just Get Dumber and Dumber

Probably taking their cue from the Liar-and-Chief-Thief Bush:

"US students are lagging behind their peers in other countries in science and math, test results out yesterday show. The test, the Program for International Student Assessment, was given to 15-year-olds in 30 industrialized countries last year. It focused on science but also included a math portion. The 30 countries make up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which runs the international test. The average scores for US students were lower than the average scores for the group as a whole. US students also had an average science score that was lower than the average score in 16 other OECD countries. In math, US students did even worse, posting an average score that was lower than the average in 23 of the other leading industrialized countries (AP)."

Yeah, 'cause they need to get off the
iCrap, get off the video games, and quit smokin' the weed!

And then start investigating and finding out about this world before it's too late!
