It likely coincides with the creation of the department of education (indoctrination stations).

You might have a valid point there:

The modern U.S. Department of Education was officially created on October 17, 1979, when President Jimmy Carter signed the Department of Education Organization Act (Public Law 96-88) into law, with operations formally beginning on May 4, 1980.

That does indeed seem to be the turning point in Virginia's decline. Reagan kind of hid it because people's attention was diverted by Reagan becoming the president and believeing the tide was going to begin to be returned to normacy. We underestimated the hol that communists really had obtained in this nation. The school's deteriation wasn't really being noticed until the 1990s when some people started to recognize the rot. I remember telling friends that we need to tuen around the educational system in the 1990s, and them saying their schioils were perfectly marvelous, no problem there.

Brings, Frnk Zappa's - It Can't Happen Here, to mind and how insightful Frank Zappa really was, in its release in 1966, when revisited in hindsight. We were so asleep believing that it could never happen here.

That 's a very astute display of critical thinking skills you displayed with your response. Bravo 😁🤙
