Here is a little geography quiz, brought to you be St. Louis Post Dispatch. I only managed 6 out of 8. I thought I’d do better. The crazy thing is the statistics that come with each question. The most amazing ones to me:
- 63% of young American’s couldn’t identify Iraq on a map of the Middle East
- 41% of young American’s can’t even identify what continent the Amazon rainforest is on
- 50% were not able to identify New York state on a map of the United States

Chris. Some people out there in our nation don’t have maps. I believe our education in the U.S. should help South Africa and the Iraq and the Asian countries…
