Those polled by the Marist Poll who were clueless about America’s independence must have been the same people Jay Leno interviews on his ‘Jay Walking’ routines. And you can bet those dumb-asses all voted for Obama.
China? They obviously don’t realize that America will not be able to gain its independence from China until we’ve paid off our national debt.
26% DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HISTORY
Marist Poll
July 2, 2010
There’s good news for American education. About three-quarters of residents — 74% — know the U.S. declared its independence from Great Britain in 1776.
The bad news for the academic system — 26% do not. This 26% includes one-fifth who are unsure and 6% who thought the U.S. separated from another nation.
That begs the question, "From where do the latter think the U.S. achieved its independence?" Among the countries mentioned are France, China, Japan, Mexico, and Spain.
