Nearly 10 percent of college graduates believe popular TV star Judith Sheindlin, aka “Judge Judy,” serves on the Supreme Court of the United States, a new poll has revealed.
Ms. Sheindlin, wife of fellow TV judge Jerry Sheindlin, is a retired New York judge who handles small-claims disputes on the long-running court show “Judge Judy.”
The poll, conducted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a D.C.-based nonprofit, concluded from the 1,000 surveyed nationwide that college graduates “are alarmingly ignorant of America’s history and heritage,” CNN reported.
The report, titled “A Crisis in Civic Education,” found that 47 percent of graduates also couldn’t identify the term lengths for members of Congress, and nearly 40 percent didn’t know that Congress has the power to declare war.

More than 10% have no business attending college. Higher education was once for the smart students but now everyone is entitled to go to college even if they don't have the intellectual ability to handle the curriculum.
Judge Judy thinks so as well
On the other hand, maybe we would be a lot better off if she WAS on the Supreme Court!
hey 7:21 I was thinking the same , sure would be nice , she's a little like the Trump in that respect.
Millinium idiots.
@7:51 Millennium :)
This is scary. Our future leaders.
Go over to SU- ask the first student you see- have you ever heard of ANY on the following: Socrates, Mozart, A streetcar Named Desire, All Quiet on the Western Front, Bach, Benny Goodman, Our Town.....and wait for the dopey blank look. Its not their fault, though.
She'd never accept the pay cut. She makes in a day what a SC justice does in a year.
Sad day!!! But that's alright. We will continue to throw money to the BOE for this OUTSTANDING EDUCATION MODEL! !!SMH.I guess they all passed because they tried Really, Really, Hard!! LMAO.
