Video of Teens Failing Miserably at a Civics Quiz Is So Depressing It’s Funny

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.

Obama voters?

Check it our America. These are future voters and leaders of America. I'm sure the Teachers' Union and DNC are so proud of these fine examples of today's youth.

Friggin' idiots.

They don’t care. Just let them go back to their Ipod. We are safe from them there.

I weep for the future.

In case you wonder who elected Obama...... We wonder why no one can find a job in America. Industry has wisely chosen to give them into the hands of committed overseas professionals, while the fat American kids gorge themselves with tweets, facebooks, doo-dads, gadgets, games, and everything else they can get their hands on. The rest of the world committs to education - for life - and becomes the professional class. America has become so second-rate it’s pathetic, and I am as guilty as the next American for letting it happen to my kids and my country. They have given us everything to poison ourselves with from within and we have just gobbled it up.

She’ll be given a high paying job for life because of affirmative action.

I’d wager many of these students bringing down America are minorities who come from third world cultures that don’t belong in America.

The young man making the video will be the future leader.
He'll lead the others around by the nose because he knows he'll be able to do so and they're too stupid to know otherwise.

I pray he's a decent man.

Well no wonder America is threatened.

We've got the two countries of "Mexico" and "South America" at our border!

Eye-opening stuff. Thanks.

In a dumbed down system where the Affirmative Action President of the United States thinks there are 57 or 58 states this level of ignorance is not a big surprise.

Obama voters?

Why do you suppose Obama (and Dems in general) always rely so much on the "young voters"?

The level of ignorance for basic facts is shocking.

But, perhaps even more damaging, are the people who cannot express themselves and who cannot comprehend clear language from others:

"He said he was gonna get that guy, then he said not to, but they din't listen so he got all mad and then he just did it, and he was all like, Dude, really?"
"Whoa, whoa. I didn't follow that. Who are we talking about? How many people were involved?"
"That's right."
"No, I asking -- who did those things which you were just talking about?"
"When?"
"Just now."
"Nobody did nothing. This was before."
"Before what?"
"Man, you stupid."
