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.”

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

@CNN @ddevries03 To be fair, 1000 students does not make for an accurate survey.

Quite a few were inspired by the survey to ask why Judge Judy isn’t on the Supreme Court.

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.”
