PS> I am wondering what the source is and from what year?
    North Carolina politicians during that time I cited continually (before 
Clinton became president, while he was governor of Arkansas) lamented the 
fact that this state and Arkansas yearly alternated for 50th in test scores 
year in and year out.
PS> stats prior to the Clinton administration? 
    Don't know, but it obviously didn't improve much if any during the 12 
years he was governor!
PS> effected those stats? Were there any other interactive variables 
PS> effecting those stats?  (ie:    Juvinelle Crime, Teenage pregnacy, 
    Arkansas also had abysmal teen pregnancy statistics during Clinton's term 
as governor, and his appointment of Jocelyn Elders to run a statewide 
anti-teen-pregnancy program was without success.
    This is not an excuse for Clinton's failure as a school reformer, just 
further proof he didn't deliver on social reforms generally.
