I teach special ed, and even MY kids could answer those questions! Education- what you get out of it depends greatly on what you put into it. Whether you're homeschooled or in a 1500-student public high school, if you don't pay attention and commit things to "long-term memory", you're still not going to know anything.

Especially since it was done in Texas. I lived down there for awhile, and well, like I said, not too surprised. Not saying that everyone down there is uneducated, but in my experience, a great deal aren't. I'd like to think though that people up here in Omaha would do a little better, but still wouldn't expect much. That’s really funny, and not really surprising. Especially since it was done in Texas.

He wasn't only in Texas - some of that was shot in parts of Los Angeles which I recognized. Jay Leno does the same thing with his Jay Walking segment. A lot of this isn't about not knowing childhood history or geography education though, it's about keeping abreast of current events. I suppose the best that we can say is that these folks aren't reading or listening to anything. Just remember that these folks are voters! Robyn C.

"especially since it was done in Texas"? I'm from Texas, and we're not all uneducated hicks. I can't speak for everyone, of course, but at least I could answer all those questions! Now... their (I say their, because while I live here, I didn't originate from here) blind allegiance to Bush... that needs to be rectified! Blind allegiance to any leader is unwise. This being said, I am most definitely homeschooling my children. Have you seen the 20/20 bit on Stupid in America? Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfRUMmTs0ZA If neither video convinces you, I don't know what will! Pfft… “especially since it was done in Texas”?
