How droll, I'm 51 years old. I'm more than likely a far more learned soul than out your public education. Since 1970, the quality of education in schools has been slowly corrupted to create people who can't even recite any incidents in american history without serious defects in the dates, order of events or cause of said events. Your college students are suffering badly when questioned about even the simplest ewvents.
Example; Jay Leno asked a college honors student, " when did World War I start?"
The answer; 1950 or 1960?
When I was in High school, not one student could asnswer that question incorrectly.
