The problem here is that, on these two subjects, there is a difference of opinion over what is and is not a fact. It isn't so much that they don't know the basics of science, history, and literature, it is that they can't agree on them. And if they can't agree on them then how can anyone expect the country to agree on and implement a system to ensure that everyone knows the facts. Hell, come over to my house and ask the 4 of us these 2 questions, you'll get at least 3, possibly 4, different answers.
