I'm reminded of a story I heard on a local talk show a couple of years ago. The host was discussing world affairs with a young female co-worker, and the subject of the Pacific Campaign in WW2 came up. Her reaction:
"We bombed Japan? Why would we do that? They're our friends!"
Bear in mind that this woman had successfully graduated from college...

No history taught anymore. It goes about as deep as Kim Kardishan’s suit from last Spring...

Why would we bomb Japan anyways. Everybody has heard the great speech from the historian John ‘Bluto’ Blutarsky that it was the Germans that bombed Pearl Harbor.

Bear in mind that this woman had successfully graduated from college... I had a young 20-something co-worker swear to me that Alaska is south of California. Why? "Duh! Like, I saw it on the map of the U.S., in my classroom!"
