As predicted education has turned into Marxist indoctrination paid for by taxpayer dollars. Kids are dumber today than they were in 1890.

How many kids took Calculus in high school in 1890?

Careful, correlation is not causation it can only ever be mere coincidence. Before assigning blame eliminate the other factors that may have caused the decline you mentioned.

He doesn't know either of those words. Not his language.

Try saying it in banjo.

Not really the point; back in 1890 they didn't care if blacks got lynched for the mere crime of looking at a white woman.

Now, in schools, they teach kids that this is wrong. Which, of course, is really Rightguide's main beef. Because teaching kids that racism is wrong is "Marxist" according to his juvenile logic.

I think it’s hilarious that he thinks schools use the same metrics they did in 1890.

Of course, 1980 was also the year Reagan was elected, if you want to talk about correlation.
