Including W.

It's shocking really. Shocking.

In all likelihood that interviewer stood there for hours and hours and there were some folks who had it spot on. OTOH... that he could find two people much less the 4 or 5 he did, that would think Iran, Korea, France etc were Aus. OMG!

Beyond ignorant. No one is born knowing that stuff true but if you can live your whole life and never be interested enough to look at a map. So sad.

What's worse? There are people in this country who can't even locate where they are within the U.S. on a map! Seriously! I don't understand how someone can even make it to high school without knowing that!

In the discussion of problems in our educational system, the topic of the students themselves is often ignored.

It's depressing. I need to leave this country and go to Washington.
