"StandWithUs investigates what some UCLA Students know about Israel and the middle-east. See what comedian Mark Schiff discovers when asking some tough and some not-so-tough questions".
The following video is one of those man-on-street type of Q&A scenarios, the difference being is that it is held on the campus of UCLA (for those of you in Rio Linda that is a college).
Most reading/viewing this will most likely already be aware of the absolutely sad, atrocious and inexcusable state of the American education system but this is just ridiculous and further proves the point.
Please watch to the end and you will have one of those face palm moments,,,,,,,,

And according to Obama we are one of those Muslim nations.lol
Indoctrination subsituting for education will be this nation's downfall.
Too bad the taxpayer couldn't get their money back for services not render.
Oops - should be "can't"
Their parents ignored them and their high school teachers didn't teach them. Then they went out and voted for ... one guess? :-P :-P :-P
Tis a scary world we're in!
He comes from the same education system I speak of >:o
Those answers or lack thereof are a product of ignorance not indoctrination.
I understand your concern, but an example of indoctrination would be an answer to the question of how many Jewish countries are there? An indoctrinated person would answer; 1, Israel and it must stop terrorizing it's neighbors and building on it's own land or cease to exist.
Let alone the parents from kindergarten on up! >:o
No worries :)
Scary indeed as this is but one college! :(
I watched it all Chris and I aint shocked a bit...gives new meanin to the word Ignoramous eh!..sheesh!!.. :(
now pass the hamas so I can dip it on my pita please. ;)
Hi Angel, I figured no one would be shocked thats why I added face palm.
As to hamas, not a good idea as they are known to eat their own, pita or not the quaran demands this of them.
Christopher . . . Do these students, obviously out of high school, study and learn anything in college? Have any of them ever read a newspaper? Read a book? No wonder we have a brilliant Harvard student in our government who has no common sense.
Oh my! That was really awful! For them to not know that Hamas is a terrorist organization is so disturbing. Send these students back to high school to be reeducated.
If a bear craps in the woods should they do it on a campus of lower education instead? The youth of this country have no clue about the stench that is destroying the world.
And yet I find it hard to find fault with these young'uns. I will bet you a pita pocket filled with gold coins that their parents would have given answers that are even more clueless than the children they chose to raise in the mindset of; "the world revolves around me, life is good so dude don't trouble me with the facts".
Bump,,Thats the thing, this basic info should have been taught in high school along with newspapers and books well before college. They don't even teach geography in high school!
Teresa, It will not help as I stated to Bump below. Unless all send their children to private elementary and high schools still situation will not change unless and until we rid the public schools of unions.
Jaded, I totally agree! Parenting has been handed over to the Internet, video games and public union baby sitters pretending to be teachers. >:o
