Do the public schools teach geography anymore?

People this stupid should forfeit their right to vote, forever.

Nobody can be this stupid... Well not many people.

[Jonty30]

No. Social engineering is all they teach now.

The first of her problems I see is the word “TikTocker”.

[Red Badger]

It’s now called ‘Social Studies’................

Wait till she learns most of the population being at Anchorage, Alaska will eventually Tip Over.

She’s right. People shouldn’t call her a “stupid American.” Her being American has nothing to do with it. She’s just stupid.

[Red Badger]

She asked people not to call her a “stupid American”........

Okay, how about IGNORANT American?.....................

[dinodino]

How effing stupid can this person be?

[servo1969]

Think of the average idiot. Then remember, half of everyone is stupider than that.

Lol, thanks for the laugh 😂

This is funnier than when I said to a couple of 40 year olds that yes, Lincoln was the first Republican president. The “wait, what?” out of them was priceless.

Schools do. I guess this woman never looked at a map or globe.

44 years ago, I sent two fresh accounting graduates to observe inventories from our Chicago area home office, one in Seattle and the other in Los Angeles. When they compared plane tickets and realized that the flight times were similar, they had to get out a map to realize where the cities were.

It was quite a surprise for both of them. I have not been surprised about people's lack of knowledge about the world around them since then. Somewhat disappointed, but no longer surprised.

A few years ago, I was talking with a group of 20 5-6th grade students at our church. They all attended public school. I told them our church supported missionaries on 6 of the 7 continents. The word “continent” confused them. Not a single kid could tell me what a continent is, let alone name a continent. I then pulled out a map of the US, and only one kid could locate our state (Illinois). Where are the Rocky Mountains? Not a clue. However, they sure knew it was wrong for me to put papers in a regular trash can instead of in a recycle bin.

This thread reminds me of an anecdote I read a few years ago from a foreigner who spent some time working in the U.S. He made the following observation about Americans (I paraphrase):

“After listening to talk radio for a few days I figured that Americans are the dumbest people on the planet. Then I listened to sports talk radio for a few days, and I realized that Americans are actually the smartest people in the world … but they’re smart about things that aren’t important.”

No excuse for public school.
I’d watch the private schools closely too.

[BigFreakinToad]

this is completely believable and it’s been like this for awhile. Back in the day Jay Leno did “Jay Walks” where general questions were asked, no one knew a damned thing. My old country school education answered them all. America has a real bad “stupid” problem and it isn’t going to get better.
