No surprise here. The majority of Americans including judges also don't know what is in the Constitution or any of the amendments. They also have no concept of the original intent of the documents. They rely on the MSM or a survey to tell them what the documents mean. If they read the documents and the original intent from the writings of the time they were ratified, we would not be discussing what the Second Amendment means now.

You got that right.
We just witnessed the congress, president and supreme court all endorse a bill that specifically limited free speech and provided for fines and jail time if a person dared exercise certain forms of political speech at certain times in an election cycle. We have witnessed several states pass "hate crime" laws that punish unpopular thoughts and the supreme court has upheld these laws.
High school students being ignorant of our rights is the least of our problems. A majority of our government is just as ignorant (or just don't care) of our constitution.
