Survey: Americans Know More About “The Simpsons” Than The Constitution...
In a contest between Americans’ knowledge of “The Simpsons” and what they know about the First Amendment — Bart and Homer win hands down.
About 1 in 4 Americans can name more than one of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.) But more than half of Americans can name at least two members of the fictional cartoon family, according to a survey.

One thing it DOES prove however, is how dumbed down the population is. It reminds me of the movie Idocracy where the IQ were below normal.
No matter if its liberals or trump supporters, it does reveal how uneducated people really are. And that is a really big problem.
10. What percentage of high school graduates can't read? Making it to graduation day is a major milestone for teens, but many of them struggle to decipher the words on their diploma. Just under 20% of high school grads haven't developed basic reading proficiency by the time they don their cap and gown.
