Former Washington Post and Time investigative reporter
Ted Gup is surprised how little his college students know about the world. "In recent years I have administered a dumbed-down quiz on current events and history early in each semester to get a sense of what my students know and don't know. Initially I worried that its simplicity would insult them, but my fears were unfounded. The results have been, well, horrifying. ...It is time to once again make current events an essential part of the curriculum."
