Americans Don’t Know the Geography of Their Own Country

Americans have been mocked for not knowing where countries we are at war with are located on the map.  It appears that they are also unaware of the geography of their own country.

From Movoto Blog:

It’s no surprise that Americans aren’t especially knowledgeable when it comes to matters of geography. National Geographic’s 2006 Geographic Literacy Survey of Americans aged 18 to 24 resulted in some rather unpleasant findings: Only 50% could identify New York on an unlabeled map, and a mere 43% could locate Ohio. And while 67% could find Louisiana, just 52% knew which state was Mississippi.

When quizzed on the location of 7 states, the survey respondents could only correctly identify an average of 3.4. The good news is that 94% do know where the United States itself is – the bad news is that 3 out of 10 thought the U.S. population was between 1 to 2 billion.

We need to pour more money into education, I guess.  Or maybe stop being so multicultural.  As I am pretty sure a good portion of these respondents would have been non-White.
