Did you know that “bin Laden” is the vice president of the United States, or that the Civil War led to America’s independence? How about that Canada’s a state?
Well, that’s what some local students at (what appears to be) a Washington state high school think. In a video that’s probably a few hours from going viral, a young man decided to question classmates for a video called “Lunch Scholars.” It is anything but scholarly.

LOL!
The teachers union is just pissed-off because we didn’t spend it all on their salaries and benefits.
Bunch of losers.
Aa am I. Kudos to you and your daughter.
Likewise, my daughters are also well versed in civics, but they went to Catholic school, rather than PUBIC (not PUBLIC) school. (We are Lutheran). It was the best $80k I ever spent.
“The libs should be very proud.”
I have no doubt that they are. Thus, that’s the reason I sent my daughters to private (Catholic) school). It cost me $80K but it was more than worth it.
Agreed.
I spent $80K sending my daughters to private (Catholic) schools. It was the best $80K I ever spent. No BS green-weenie environmental studies. No social justice studies or liberal indoctrination. Just good, old-fashioned reading, writing, arithmatic, civics and science.
Full disclosure: We are Lutheran
“Can we bring back poll tests yet?”
Sounds good, but if we do that, Obama and Holder’s “people”, union thugs, welfare queens, inner-city youts, drug-addicts, and damn near every other DNC constituency won’t be allowed to vote.
That ain’t gonna fly.
Good idea though.
Watch later.
“12 years of edjumaction down the drain.”
And thus the reason I sent my daughters to Catholic school.
Un asked “Who is the President of Africa?”

*sigh* At least you understood.
Canada's metric conversion was not without incident. In 1983, confusion over imperial pounds vs kilograms caused Air Canada 143 to turn into a glider 41,000 feet over Ontario.
Oh, come one. They’re just goofy kids. And they were good sports about it. I have a feeling most of them will snap out of it one day.
Yeah, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I still have the capacity to use tools. (Much like Chimpanzees use sticks to harvest termites.)
I don’t use Facebook, MySpace, or any of the gazillion applications on my Android phone, but I still know how to access the internet and type on a computer.
EK
Thank God reality hit me when it did. Otherwise, I'd be a college professor shoveling bullsh!t to an entirely new generation of kids.
Agreed.
Please see *Post 94*.
I saw the light. I suspect many of them will, too. But, Lord Almighty, they don’t know how many states are in the the USA? 53 States? Canada is a US State? Civil War history? MLK, Jr.?
It’s worse than I ever imagined.
Thank the Lord, I sent my kids to Catholic school.
At least they weren’t those heavy metal idiots. Most of them could form complete, grammatically correct sentences. Not too many “likes” or “you knows”. I think they even realized how dingy they were and had a good enough sense of humor to laugh at themselves. They were just kids being kids.
That argument is becoming ludricous, in the light of the results from all the money we're already spending.
Clearly, the results aren't worth half what's already being spent.
Did he learn it at school? Or from you?
This really sick.These are our future voters. I am sure we have millions just like them voting right now. Mission accomplished, we have dumbed down America.
There was one student that nailed it. He said they were not taught these things in school.
I agree that it was refreshing that they were well spoken and avoided using terms such as “like”, “you know”, and “kind of”, but that doesn’t mean they are “educated” or “intelligent”.
To wit, I had a parrot when I was in college. My roomates and I taught it to speak excellent english (no slang), but that doesn’t mean that I wanted to give it the “right” to vote for POTUS, Senator, Congressman, Mayor, Councilman or dog-catcher without confirmation that the stupid bird understood who or what it was voting for.
Today’s youth don’t know sh!t from shinola. They are nothing more than parrots. They regurgitate whatever their
“lofty, high, mighty and learned” instructors tell them. They need to spend a few years in the real world before they have the right to vote. Look at the last election. 70% of those “educated” assho!es voted for Mawgli.
Idiocy is not inherited. It is taught. $100K for a degree in idiocy is outgargeous and idiotic.
JMO.
