I would be a bit skeptical of the figures presented on that web site, without independent confirmation. Check out the links from the main page at http://christianparty.net For example, the there is a link on that page to "setting the standard" at http://christianparty.net/standard.htm which purports to have test scores of some sort ofr various demographic groups, classified as "Race & Sex." The categories include, "Mexican Boys," "Caucasian Girls," "jew boys," "Nigger Boys," "jew girls," "Nigger Girls," etc. Other pages on that web site include a call to repeal the 19th amendment (i.e., take away the right of women to vote), claims that the Jews started World War II and "How jewish Doctors Kill Christians" (example: "Reduced mental capacity of American students with fluoride.") and numerous other antisemitic garbage. Although the main thrust of the site is antisemitism and the next priority seems to be misogyny, there are also some other tidbits -- such as a claim that, "FIGHTING CRIME COSTS 25X MORE THAN CRIME ITSELF" and almost all U.S. rape convictions are based on lies. --Robert Book
