“college professors average about 55%. I find that odd.”

Yes, I do too. I am a college professor, and had little difficulty scoring 9/10, must admit, I did miss the question about Marbury vs. Madison as the basis of judicial review, but I’m a writing professor, not a historian.

Oh, that’s right, all college professors are hippie-dippie, PC, liberals, who would know nothing about anything practical like government? I think even my liberal colleagues would sometimes surprise people. disagree with their conclusions but respect their knowledge and research.

Sorry this is a hot button for me working in education. One tires after a while of seeing their profession demonized so regularly.

Your profession is demonized with good reason. Certainly there are knowledgeable left-wing professors who would ace this quiz, but there are also many who would fail it miserably. As a college student, I found it necessary to correct my professors on at least a few occasions as to basic American history. And it doesn't matter if they were history professors or not - a professional academic should know the basics at least as well as your average Joe, but often, truth is not their priority.

Only 8 out of 10 here. Gulp.

The only reason I got Marbury v. Madison correct was because of the Florida recount. Marbury v. Madison was the basis for the US Supreme Court review in the case. Knew of the Marbury decision earlier from junior high civics, but I had to rush to the search engine during that election for review.
