ZONED-OUT

There is an alarming level of enthusiastic ignorance on the part of too many young Americans. This applies even among college graduates. When asked to name America's first president, Abraham Lincoln or even,Franklin Roosevelt, might be the shocking response. What could explain a college graduate believing New Mexico to be a foreign nation? How is it possible that a high school, or college, graduate would be unable to answer exactly on the number of States there are in the Union? These are not exaggerated examples; this is reality.
