College students can't name the VP. We as a nation are so screwed.

I can no longer watch those “man on the street” type videos.

Sickening.

The students should have learned history in high school. But nowadays schools either no longer teach history or they teach commie revisionist history. Either way, this generation knows nothing about history

Should have asked each one: Do you vote Democrat or Republican?

Didn't Japan win the Civil War? After we dropped the H-bomb on the Battleship Maine per authorization from President Ben Franklin?

I remember an American History class in high school in which the teacher, a jock who happened to teach history, was jabbering on about how General Grant proved his ability as a commander when he won the Union day at Gettysburg. I humiliated him by informing him that General Grant was nowhere near Gettysburg when that battle was fought, and that the Union commander was George Meade.

With quality teachers like that in our schools, it's no surprise we're graduating functional illiterates.

The Roundheads, dang it. The Cavaliers didn’t have a chance once Cromwell told his boys to stop bathing.

The big winners in the Civil War were the bankers. Losses to the North and South were massive. Slaves had great problems also.

I've been my childrens' history teacher, my youngest (now 13) has shown the most aptitude of the three kids.

A couple of years ago, he was sidelined during his youth football game. I went down and gave him my personalized concussion test, asking him three questions:

What happened on June 4th, 1944?

When did the Alamo fall?

What happened on November 22nd, 1963? Full disclosure, I had to give him a hint, i.e. I was in 4th grade.

Of course, he got all 3 right. I knew he was fine. His teammates looked at him in awe, "how did you know all of that?" lol

He corrected his drama teacher last year. She was talking about Elvis Presley and "Blue Suede Shoes." When she said he wrote the song, he corrected her...it was Carl Perkins. He remembered that from our visit to Sun Studio in Memphis. He stood on the spot where Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash recorded their first songs.

Who WHOM did we gain our independence from?

Better yet "From whom did we gain our independence?"

No need to show grammatical illiteracy when questioning college students.
