These UCLA students don’t know what the capital of the United States is. This is proof that getting into college is way too easy. No wonder why so many college students think that borrowing money doesn’t entail paying it back.

This new video from James Klug is called, “BRUTAL: Gen Z Fails To Answer The EASIEST Questions.”

He asks adults the following questions. They don’t know the answers:

What’s the capital of the United States?

How many stars are on the United States flag?

What ocean is on the east side of the United States?

What country is the Queen of England from?

What was Adolf Hitler’s first name?

What is two times two times one?

Who was the first President of the United States?

They don’t know the answers.

This is proof that getting into college is way too easy.

No wonder why so many college students think that borrowing money doesn’t entail paying it back.

Most of these UCLA “students” are urban ghetto misfits and blacks. No wonder they don’t know anything.

I bet the Asians would know ALL the answers.

American universities used to be called “Institutions of Higher Learning”.

Now they should be called, “Institutions of Marxist Indoctrination”.

Aren’t most in the higher end of the UC system from overseas or those where English *is not* a first language?

Idiots.

EVERY American knows that the capital of the US is Los Angeles - specifically Hollywood.

I always get sickeningly amused by this jaw-dropping travesty.

I know Jay Leno used to do it for entertainment, but it was more instructive of how brain dead the generations after the Boomers really are.

It coincided with the advent of MTV, incidentally.

Capital is the city, capitol is the building.

In one of my classes, I would give the students a “general knowledge” quiz at the beginning of the semester. It had questions similar to these, and the results were just as depressing. Fewer than 50% of students could answer basic questions such as: “How many stripes are on the US Flag?” “On what continent is the United States?” “Who is the current Vice President?” This was a 300-level class with mostly juniors and seniors.

Capital of the USA is the dollar.
Capitol is Washington, DC.
