I have a girl friend that teaches high school students and I think she would agree with you.

If you want to kill more time they also ask them should gravity be offered in school.

The video is a spoof - NOT REAL.

OMG! If this is for real then we really are in trouble. Are our educators so stupid they can't teach our children or are the children just not interested in learning anything they will need throughout their lives. The grammar? I couldn't believe what came out the moutn of the one girl. Lord have mercy on us when these kids will be running things. Lord help us!!!! Are we raising generations of people to flip burgers at a fast food place or working at some car wash? Pray it isn't so!

This is our educated youth, and in a very few years they will

be in charge of this country. What has happened to our

educational system? America has really dumbed down!!!!!!

But we are politically correct in our schools though no one in

school has any idea what that means!

:-( :-( :-( :( :( :(

It was based off of a video where the question dealt with evolution.
Watch the original Miss USA evolution video here:
