Is our schools "dumbing" down our children?

I had an interview today with a gentleman who was very upset about this subject. He said he attended a certain college where he actually outscored the incoming high school students on the placement tests. He graduated in 1972 from high school and he was very upset over the downturn of our schools. I told him that me and my husband are planning on homeschooling because of this fact and also because I will not permit my child to go somewhere that he is not allowed to take "Jesus". They say we offend them, but they are equally as offensive. Example: Miss California had every right to answer the question the way she did, just as Perez had every right to ask the question. We now live in a nation were there is no wrong or right, or let me clarify this: rather we live in a nation were morals and standards are now wrong.
Is it working? Do you really think that this new world order is working? Is there more respect for each other? NO! Instead there is more divisive issues every day. Our schools need to get back to what was working, no hidden agendas, no hidden anything, just good old fashioned math, reading, and english along with teaching the kids American history. Science is also good because we need people who do research and solves problems.
Lets stop making excuses and start working on solutions. It is about time we start thinking of our children instead of promoting our hidden agendas.
