“One out of four?”
I had no idea that a quarter of our population was made of illegals.

Although I will say I thought of illegal aliens as soon as I read it (and I know you’re going for a quip), the sad part is that we have somewhere between 12 and 20 million illegals and a population of around 300 million. That means that even if illegals were in this sample, there are about 55-63 million Americans who’ve come out of our school systems without basic historical knowledge. I’m betting almost every one of the folks in this survey who screwed this question up was a product of the public schools.
