Man… There’s the solution. Get the grandpa. He knows.

What are they teaching them in schools these days…

This is pretty bad, but think of how abysmal the average American’s knowledge of more recent history is. I mean, independence-era trivia is stuff they drum into you repeatedly, and people still can’t remember it!

Restrainedradical I wish you were right, but I think you are wrong. I’ll use my own family as an example. My brother and I were the first family members to go to college. My paternal grandfather repaired shoes and my paternal grandmother cleaned houses. My parents were both factory workers. My mother read a lot, not so my Dad or his parents. All of them knew the basic history of the country. When I would bring up the subject of American history, they would all participate based upon what they had learned in school (Ironically, my mother, the Newfoundlander, due to her post school reading, knew the most about American history!) Neither of my paternal grandparents went past the Seventh grade. My father was a high school graduate. All of them would have been ashamed at the level of ignorance about American history displayed in the video.

Zach, you have to remember two things about Jawywalking. One, it’s not live. They simply pick the funniest/dumbest answers and show those. The second thing is that it’s filmed in LA. That alone brings down the average IQ about 70 or 80 points. (No disrespect meant to LA, but c’mon, Hollywood).
