CNN is reporting today on the results of a poll conducted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni last August, which suggest that college graduates are “alarmingly ignorant of America’s history and heritage.”

What happens when we turn college into an extension of high school and stuff them with "trigger warnings:" https://t.co/FeJ0wsj68m

For what it’s worth, “Judge Judy” wasn’t an option listed on the poll; rather, she was listed by her full name of Judy Sheindlin.

I suspect around 10% of college graduates think trolling media polls is a laugh. @CNN

@CNN @AndrewStilesUSA @JudgeJudy one day poll workers will learn to tell when they're being trolled
— Jason Hornbuckle (@JasonHornbuckle) January 19, 2016
That’s a possibility as well.
@CNN @JudgeJudy could have read "90% know that Judge Judy is not on the US Supreme Court" but that wouldn't be delicious.

@CNN @ddevries03 To be fair, 1000 students does not make for an accurate survey.
— Drew Driesen (@DR73SEN) January 19, 2016
Quite a few were inspired by the survey to ask why Judge Judy isn’t on the Supreme Court.
@CNN @JudgeJudy but why is she NOT on the Supreme Court!?
— Jordan Cales (@JordanCales) January 19, 2016

@CNN @AceofSpadesHQ @JudgeJudy She would be better than Ginsberg

Of course, the poll consisted of more than one question, and the results were disturbing.
Also: More than 30% of ppl aren't sure or affirmatively think the Constitution has to be reauthorized every 4 yrs. pic.twitter.com/tVAuuY4ovr

CNN further reports that the poll found that “almost 60% of college graduates couldn’t correctly identify a requirement for ratifying a constitutional amendment and 40% of college graduates didn’t know that Congress has the power to declare war.”
