"People may be listening to television experts talk about economic bailouts and the platforms of political candidates, but they apparently have little idea what our basic economic and political institutions are," said Dr. Richard Brake, ISI's director of University Stewardship. "Our study raises significant questions about whether citizens who voted in this year's landmark presidential election really understand how our system of representative democracy works." And what do you know, you get a marxist/socialist/communist President! Yippee!

My friends, I suggest that we reach across the aisle and come to the consensus that the average American voter is as dumb as a public educated turkey dropping.

I took it yesterday-me, a product of public school with an abysmal history/civics education. (Our hippy neighbor across the street was one of my civics teachers-the guy was more worried about holding the water fountain for the mini-skirted Spanish teacher down the hall- he eventually left his wife and kids and ran off with her, but I digress)
Got an 85. Some of the questions were a bit tricky, but overall it was not that hard.

And why is this “Breaking News?”
To: William Tell 2
In one of Bork's books (Slouching Toward Gomorrah, I believe), he said that he came across the final exam from 1910 or so that high schoolers had to take and pass in order to earn their degree. He said he had difficulty answering many of the questions.
It's a good thing our government-run school system has so much focus on sex ed and multiculturalism.
If your planned intent were to destroy a nation deliberately, you couldn't devise a better method than our current government-run school system. Its dumbed-down ‘graduates’ are the ones who go on to pop culture, the MSM, and a host of other careers that influence public opinion.

90.91% (missed 3).
Should have recognized the line from the Gettysburg Address.
Didn’t know FDR was that ignorant of the constitution.
Not well versed in Plato and Socrates.
