'Lunch Scholars' Video Reveals American Teens Can't Answer Basic Trivia (VIDEO)

Laura Hibbard:

If there was ever a movie to make you laugh to keep from crying, it's this one.

Austin, an intrepid young student-reporter, embarks on the noble mission of answering the question, "How much basic knowledge do American high school students really have?" The answer, however, may not be exactly what you want to hear.

"Do you know the vice president of The United States?" Austin asks.

"I don't know who it it's, it's, it's somebody....Bin Ladin," one student responds.

The video continues in similar fashion, asking everything from, "In what war did America gain independence?" (which no one answered correctly without a hint) to "What countries border America?"
