Gotta obfuscate those charts enough for them to pass by the Texas Board of Education censors or whatever.
From the same class that says that Gaddafi being overthrown, "represented a recent example of armed struggle by a nation's people for regime change"
Look you can't get published without a p value of less than 0.05 so you better be able to code your variables to fit on a graph.
