One quick item here though. It is very possible that vaccinations have contributed to the IQ drop of America's children over the past two decades. However, there's another big factor there and that's unfettered immigration during that time span (except for GEOTUS' term of course).
Stefan Molineux was taken to the woodshed multiple times over this subject, but he was simply stating facts. Specifically, we've imported a ton of people (including children) from countries where incest/inbreeding is socially acceptable which has a disastrous impact on average IQ. We've imported millions of those people over the past two decades.
I strongly suspect that's had a huge impact on that IQ drop, but I agree that the increasingly large battery of vaccines thrown at children in the past 2 decades are a part of that.
Iirc, something like >45% of all birth defects pre-COVID in the UK were seen in Pakistani births in the UK. And Pakistanis are 4% of the population (or were at the time).
Incest.
Meanwhile we're agressively importing Somalis, where the average IQ is, iirc, 68. That's average. Some mountain gorillas have been clocked at ~55 IQ. So 68 average for a human is completely dain bramaged.
Interesting. In the name of equity, lower test scores in public schools have lead to the lowering of standards. Test scores have generally declined in recent years due to higher rates of immigration from poorer, less educated areas, so they say. I didn't factor in the subject of inbreeding until I read this post. A quick Freespoke search states that countries that experience the highest rates of inbreeding are Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Israel (especially among the Samaritan populations). I don't know if I can trust the source, though. I'd have to do more digging...I believe woke, undereducated teachers in the West also have something to do with this, though. University curriculum has degraded alarmingly in recent decades. But I definitely agree that mass vaccination and distribution of Big Pharma 'medications' are related to intellectual underdevelopment.
I remember homework, and I'm not talking about a little homework I'm talking hours of homework. And reports, book reports that take weeks to get done. My kids homework is one page and only on one side. Scribble a sentence and your done. The Public school sector is a joke. No wonder children cannot do basic studies. ITS THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. EVERY CHILD IS LEFT BEHIND. end the department of education, they are grifters and sellouts.
Scribble a sentence and you're done is not good, but hours of homework every day isn't good, either. Children do need to learn to be able to work independently. But after a full day of school, children also need time to socialize, play, relax, and engage in some extra-curricular activities, maybe sports, Boy Scouts, drawing, or practicing an instrument, etc.
Homework doesn't teach, if the teachers do their jobs well there is no need for homework. First grade only needs an hour of book learning per day, add 15-20 min/day each year thereafter. The rest is day care and indoctrination.
The DoE was programmed just like the original government institutions were- look up the designers of the system, they're Humanists. They openly stated their purpose was to produce compliant workers for the inevitable union with communism. And to this end, schools would replace family and church with state and government. From the beginning.

A country doesn't have to be big on incest to have a lower IQ population. Different races have different average IQs.

Where are you getting your numbers on Somali IQ scores?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious why it would be so low.
I just Goog'd it for you: https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/average-iq-by-country/

I remember doing a book report on tetanus when I was in 9th grade.

I read a great article the other day on Epoch Times about the education of John Adams' family. Was very inspirational, if you're interested.
