An interesting article published in the 1970's stipulated that the drop in SAT scores and the dumming down of American education correlated exactly with the birth years of babies exposed to nuclear testing fallout. After the above ground nuclear testing was stopped it took a period of time for SAT scores to show any improvement.

The effect of nuclear fallout on brain development was cited as responsible for behavioural problems and learning disabilities. The western and midwestern states were the most affected.

"...drop in SAT scores correlated ... to nuclear testing fallout."

I submit that the drop is due to an exposure to an even more toxic "substance"--socialism. We see a deadly concentration in human engineering test cites (LA, SF, NY, Chicago, Boston, ...) and it spread from there.

It is most recently being treated at the family unit level by "containment engineers"--homeschooling parents. The prognosis--hopeful.
