Stupidify the citizenry

From the Washington Times: Students in Maryland again scored dismally on high school competency examinations last year, according to results posted recently by the state Education Department.... About half of 65,000 students failed the algebra and biology tests in 2003 - about the same rate as in 2002. Four in 10 failed government, and six in 10 failed English.

That would be why one reason I don't want government schools teaching religion, or anything else for that matter.
