Bill OReilly sent Jesse Watters on a mission to Aspen, Colo., for the X Games, where Watters asked some standard history questions and got very unlikely answers.
When was George Washington president? Watters heard answers that ranged from 1776 to 1983 to way before I was born.
What countries did America fight in World War II? Not Spain, France, or Russia, like some respondents thought.
Who bombed Pearl Harbor? Well, it wasnt China or Korea.
Hear the cringe-worthy answers to these questions and more in the video above.

I wish Watters would aks these people whether they attended state run schools or private schools or if they were home schooled.
And they VOTE!
Well, if we’d just funnel a few more billion dollars to the teachers unions, I think we can fix this.
Maybe 90% of the interviewees get all the answers right, but they only ran the film of the airheads. That’s gotta be it.
And they vote democrat.
“Stupid >Obama< voters.”
I doubt it.
These are amazing . A neighbor said his son was reprimanded in high school for laughing when his teacher announced 'today class we will be discussing World War eleven'.....HA
I heard it. It was pathetic.
The Germans, of course.
Bluto agrees.
World War “eleven”? You can’t be serious!
I won't stop you because it sounds like you're on a roll.
I would like to see some statistics on these answers. We have a lot more to worry about if five were asked and four got them wrong than if a hundred were asked and those same four got them wrong but were cherry picked for the camera.
You don’t need to ask that question .. all you need to know is that the TEACHER’S UNIONS (obviously staffed by nothing but the most liberal liberals) have been running our schools for the last 40-50 years.
Why do you think our children are so ignorant ..??
Because, you can’t control people who are informed.
“And they VOTE!”
Yes, potentially multiple times each.
But they can tell you who so-and-so is dating this week.
Well, they sent the reporter to a site that is basically a gathering of airheads. Why are they surprised at these results?
He has done interviews on college campuses. Young people are not smart.
true story and the teacher did not even know her mistake...(and this was in one of the areas better schools)
