“It seems that many students are completely tuned out to politics, lacking the knowledge to participate effectively”
College students lack a “rudimentary grasp” of American history and government, as displayed in a civic literacy assessment recently conducted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni., “Losing America’s Memory 2.0,” asked more than 3,000 students from all 50 states questions about history and government, including Senate term lengths and a quote from the Gettysburg Address, according to ACTA. The survey was conducted in June by College Pulse.
Many students were unaware of the six-year length of a U.S. Senate term. Almost a third thought it was a four-year term. Likewise, nearly a fifth incorrectly said representatives to the U.S. House serve a four-year term; they serve two years.
