Yeah. Couldn’t have had anything to do with the stupidity and uselessness of school curriculums and such.

If ever there was a reason to stop using gasoline.

Public Schools blunted the IQs of the remaining population.

They are easy to find. They are all leftists and RINOs.
So what happened to the millennials?…

...2.6 points per person on average. Might be interesting to know if that's larger or smaller than the margin of error on an average IQ test...

OK, this explains Democrats.
But it doesn’t explain the assistant Democrats like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney.

Correlation is not causality.
Currently, about half the population pays no federal income taxes. I submit that not paying federal income taxes causes a loss of IQ. A lot more than a few points. There seems to be a lot more evidence of this than a leaded gasoline connection.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Less than 3 points difference? That’s about enough to learn that you shouldn’t pick your nose in public and is well within the margin of error for any sampling study.

Did they come to that conclusion before or after the study. More junk science just in time for high gas prices.

Back in those days schools were actually teaching kids. I went to school in the 60s and early 70s. Before anyone was woke except in the morning after a good night’s sleep.
Also, I grew up a country boy. Nothing but sweet, clean air, if you didn’t mind the smell of manure when the pastures got sprayed.
