Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Correlation, causation, and such. Anectotal: know a well educated (i.e. intelligent) family, one child dumb as fuck.
What the "intelligent parents" bring to tme table: often money, but generally resources to educate the children. Send them to better schools, fund a college education, be capable of helping them with homework, enabling their outer curriculum activities.
That's all stuff that society could provide for parents who can't, but society doesn't. Thus, statistically as you wrote,
with the occasional outliers.
