It depends largely on who's teaching them and what they're teaching.


As an example of what has recently been taught (or what the student gleaned from the lesson...) I heard today on a radio talk show that "Ideology was the main issue in World War II between the Nazis and the Jews and that's why the Jews lost."

In my opinion people as ignorant as that should never have been allowed to graduate.
Not only did the education system fail that person - it failed every person he communicates with.
