Congress Tops American Idol

Scott Jaschik wrote an interesting article for Inside Higher Ed detailing that college students know more about politics and civil life than many people think.

"College students are regularly criticized as being ignorant, self-absorbed and interested only in pop culture. But a new national study — conducted by Tufts University researchers — found that students know more about politics and civic life than many fear they do, and more than those in the same age group who are not in college."

Here is the link to the entire article. It makes for good reading and some thought provocation. Have a good Easter weekend everyone.
