As someone who has taught high school history - there is no question that some students are that dumb. Every school has them, they don't know, don't care and have no interest in learning. They believe it is cool to be stupid. Yet we are judged by these idiots.
To be fair, I could put together a video showing how smart some students are about this identical subject. I have had students who can answer and extrapolate on various aspects of history to an amazing degree. Most students know the basics and could answer the questions given in the video, but it always fun to focus on those that cannot. Unfortunately it paints a bad picture of all students.
