Corrupt Leaders
Part IV Legacy Lies: Education
Thursday, March 14, 2001 700 p.m.
Slick knew in his last days that his legacy was one of Crime
and No Punishment.
So, he built on that.
For every perjury statement, he pardoned a cocaine dealer.
For his impeachment, he pardoned a 48 million dollar tax evader,
ad infinitum.
He also had the White House publish a list of lies that he
called his legacy. For the ignorant masses that worship him,
it was enough to put him in the category of gods.
For the rest of us it gives us a few laughs. For some of
us, it is a chilling reminder of the stupidity of the press.
Part of Clinton's legacy was the idiotic press corps that
accepted outright lies as facts throughout his eight years.
"Since 1992, reading and math scores
have increased for 4th, 8th, and 12th graders. . ."

Clinton Presidency: A Historic Era of Progress and Prosperity

Educational Progress, 1999 Long-Term Trend Assessment. Slick
must have been looking in a mirror at this chart to claim
scores rose.

Math
Today's release of 12th-grade results shows that U.S.
students' standing relative to other TIMSS countries continues
to decline in the high school years. . . . A separate
examination of advanced mathematics and physics comparing
our students . . . shows that the performance of our advanced
students is among the lowest of countries participating
in TIMMS.

Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS), 1998
Results from assessments of mathematics proficiency
indicate that 9 and 13 year-old students. . . there has
been no significant change for 9 year olds since 1990.

Education is one of the key focus points for Sentry. There
will be much more on this topic in future issues. Chalk up
another lie from King Corrupt in his false claim that reading
scores increased.
Slick also stated that "math SAT scores are at a 30-year
high." True. But go back one more year to 1969 and math
scores are lower than they were 31 years ago. Typical Clinton.
So far in this series, we have looked at GDP, Employment,
Crime, and Education. In each case, factual information was
presented to refute Slick's lies. What is most astounding
is the blind acceptance by the press of statements made without
making the most rudimentary attempt at verification.
We can assume that the the majority of teachers and others
involved in the pathetic educational system knew that those
claims were false. But on election day 2000, 90% of them cast
their vote for Al Gore. After all, they were the same socialists
who helped give King Corrupt such a lofty approval rating
right on up to his last sleazy day in office.
