This is a video you have to see to believe. A newly formed nonpartisan student group at Texas Tech University called PoliTech recently asked some of their peers about the Civil War and other topics, such as to name the sitting U.S. vice president. The video, titled “Politically Challenged,” was posted Oct. 28 on YouTube and already has more than 250,ooo views.
The responses will shock you. There are no words. Just watch …
The new campus group got so much flak about how bad they made their peers look that they appeared on a local Fox News station to explain themselves and had to make a second video defending their first video and declaring they stand by it.
As Fox News Lubbock reports, one of the students who founded PoliTech explained what they hoped to illustrate through their effort.
“This video is not meant to criticize Texas Tech’s University, it’s meant to criticize college students in general. We are confident that if we were to go to any college campus nation-wide, we would be able to find people that didn’t know these answers either,” [PoliTech president Raul] Cevallos said. “It’s not necessarily because they’re dumb because they’re distracted by so many other things in today’s media. The results were a little bit expected. We didn’t expect a lot of people to know about these questions but we were a little bit surprised by how many people just didn’t know anything besides the pop culture questions.”
