Students?. I'd wager 25% of the teachers wouldn't know who all these historical figures were.
I'll bet either group could name the cast of any ten TV sitcoms or the members of any of the top ten "bands" in the western world.
This ignorance of world history is why we have so many democrats.
You can see the same thing when Jay Leno or Sean Hannity do their "person in the street" interviews.
It's why we should have some form of competence test for voting.
