Shocking Ignorance in the United States in the Young

Two thirds of ALL our young people have no idea that the Jewish Holocaust ever occurred. So much for "Never Forgotten".

75% of ALL young black males in Los Angeles are unable to read.

Is that actually real?. That can't be true surely.

I read it, get shocked by it, and then I will leave it to you to decide the reality of it.

@4meAndyou The one thing I will say is the way it's worded can be read in different ways. "Almost two-thirds of young American adults do not know that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust" could mean that on the survey they asked how many were killed or had options and people might have put 5 million, 2 million etc. But it sounds a lot worse when you say it that way.

Not casting doubt for the sake of it but unless I saw the survey for myself I can't really trust the conclusion 100%. Either way I think the point still stands, I don't know what the education ciricullum is like in the US but when I was in school we learnt all of that in years 9-10 I think. If you chose to take it afterwards you'd learn about the Soviets etc.
