If our educators have stooped this low and could not address such a simple situation, then how can we expect them to handle the complex issues of education?

I watched a clip of this incident on a Bay area local news station last night. students were being interviewed. Could not believe the low intellectual level of these high school students. I bet some of these students (from both camps) would not know where Iceland is on the map or would even be aware that European flights were suspended due. And these are students who live in the technology and information rich Silicon valley!!!!
