Latest Reader's Digest had a short blurb on "stupid" statements from students, I don't remember whether or not the above, see thread title, was from a college or lower grade student.
It was reported in the Tuscaloosa (AL) News in a 1995 article about a luncheon of WW II Pacific vets and some University of Alabama seniors that one Bama student made the statement, " I didn't know we were fighting the Japanese and Germans at the same time!"
I had American/World history at Bama in the late 50's and that was taught, it was covered in high school and probably 5th grade Americn history! What has happened to the teaching of history in the U. S. education system??? Maybe I should ask, what has happened to the U. S education system?
