Quote:How Dumb Are We?[/INDENT]
NEWSWEEK gave 1,000 Americans the U.S. Citizenship Test--38 percent failed. The country's future is imperiled by our ignorance.
Theyâre the sort of scores that drive high-school history teachers to drink. When NEWSWEEK recently asked 1,000 U.S. citizens to take Americaâs official citizenship test, 29 percent couldnât name the vice president. Seventy-three percent couldnât correctly say why we fought the Cold War. Forty-four percent were unable to define the Bill of Rights. And 6 percent couldnât even circle Independence Day on a calendar. rest of the story
