Yeah, Right, Whatever

This is scary. Not surprising, but scary.

Students at many of the country's most prestigious colleges and universities are graduating with less knowledge of American history, government, and economics than they had as incoming freshmen, with Harvard University seniors scoring a "D+" average on a 60-question multiple-choice exam about civic literacy.

...At universities such as Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Duke, and Berkeley, seniors scored lower on the test, available here, than freshmen, living proof of the broadening relevancy of the old Harvard adage that the university is a storehouse of knowledge because "the freshmen bring so much and the seniors take away so little."

You can take the test here. My boys will be studying American History next year, and you can bet that they will take this test at the end of the year. And they will pass it.

They will be freshmen... in high school.

PS- yes, I took it. I scored 91%.
