Yes, the correct answer is D. The space race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the middle of the 20th century had a significant impact on American public education, particularly in the areas of math and science. As the United States aimed to surpass the Soviet Union in space exploration and technology, there was a growing recognition of the need for a strong foundation in math and science education. This led to increased emphasis on teaching and promoting these subjects in schools. The space race created a sense of urgency and national pride, driving the importance of developing a skilled workforce in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields.
