I believe that if you showed the average American a map and gave him or her 10 states to find, they'd miss half. Shit, if the map were labeled, they'd probably miss 1 or 2.

What happened to teaching geography?

that went out the door due to school budget cuts along with art, gym, and music.


but seriously - schools are too crowded, underfunded - and most importantly - PARENTS DO NBOT FOLLOWUP OR SUPPLEMENT AT HOME. they expect the craptastic public schoold to do all the teaching. I really believe kids learn best from thier parents taking an active and intereested role in imparting knowledge to them. The sad truth is the majority of Americans can't "find" the time to read to thier kids on a daily basis.

I think she was told by her handlers to get in certain buzz words, and she was not bright enough to understand that they did not pertain to her question. Obviously, she was supposed to mention South Africa and Iraq... The funny thing- saying people don't have maps was actually the most pertinent thing she said!

Donald Trump, of course!. He is the epitome of the American business entrepreneur--but wouldn't you like to know his likes and dislikes? What his favorite lunch meal is? How he ties in beauty pageants with say, real estate? Having been on the high and low end of success, what makes him keep on ticking and what is the driving force behind his business conglomerations? He is a household name and I would like to get to know him as a person. One-on-one!

Pageant Contestant Re-Answers Question

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - This time, the question was a little easier for Miss Teen South Carolina. After being stumped by a Miss Teen USA pageant question on live television Friday night, Lauren Caitlin Upton's confused, mangled response has been drawing a lot of attention.

The 18-year-old got a chance to redeem herself Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show when she was again asked why one-fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a map.

"I would love to re-answer that question," Upton said. "Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography."

That was much better than her previous response, which included "U.S. Americans" and mentions of South Africa and "the Iraq."

A YouTube video of Upton has drawn a couple million hits and thousands of comments, many of them with harsh remarks for the Lexington High School graduate who plans to attend Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C.

Upton was taking her flubbed answer _ and the attention _ in stride.

"Everything did come at me at once. I was overwhelmed and I made a mistake. Everybody makes a mistake. I'm human," she said Tuesday. "I seriously think I only heard about one or two words of the actual question."

Upton's former principal Creig Tyler remembered her as a well-rounded student.

"She took college-prep and honors courses and performed well," Tyler told The (Columbia) State newspaper.

Miss Teen Colorado Hilary Carol Cruz won the crown. Upton was third runner-up.
