A video shows “politically challenged” college students are unable to identify former President Ronald Reagan in a photograph.
“Was that a former president?” a student majoring in government and international politics at George Mason University asked when shown the picture of Reagan. “Nixon, maybe?”
Numerous students at George Mason University, located near Washington, D.C., in Fairfax, Va., were unable to identity America’s beloved 40th president in the same classic photo.
One student guessed Bill Clinton.
“I’ve seen that guy before,” another student stalled before giving up.
Texas Tech University’s nonpartisan political organization PoliTech and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a nonprofit organization that promotes civic education at America’s colleges and universities, conducted the survey. They found the students weren’t any better at identifying Vice President Joe Biden, but easily identified Kim Kardashian.
