Your making my point here again. Of course they do as their neighbors speak a different language from them while we all speak english. Speaking another language is no indication of intelligence. Heck most Mexicans here speak better english than I do spanish but I doubt most of them are smarter.

I believe American schools should require World History early on (2nd or 3rd grade) starting with Classical History. We live in a democratic republic but American students rarely even touch where this government stemed from or what it means.
Now wonder education in this country is decling so rapidly if this is so. We studied this stuff from 1st grade through 12th. We only spent one year of HS on American history. Grammar school was a mix of American and world history.
