A video posted by Kaitlin Bennett showcases spring breakers in Clearwater Beach, FL, failing to answer basic questions on the US citizenship test. Viewers were shocked by responses, such as claiming Asia borders Canada and that the Pentagon is square-shaped. Critics argue these gaffes illustrate serious flaws in the American education system, calling for scrutiny of the Department of Education. With over 150,000 views in two days, the clip emphasizes a concerning lack of civic knowledge among youth, prompting an online debate about educational standards and awareness of basic history and government facts.
One dumb-struck student said 'Asia' while another said, 'I didn't even know Canada had a border,' reflecting poorly on the education system.
Another student, majoring in elementary education, incorrectly stated that the US won independence from Spain during the Revolutionary War.
These spring breakers think the Pentagon is a square, the Civil War was fought between 'East and West,' and the 2nd Amendment is the right to vote.
The video highlights the alarming lack of basic civic knowledge among young adults, creating criticism towards the education system's effectiveness.
