<p>Students at Texas Tech University took to the streets of the campus to ask their classmates simple questions such as &ldquo;Who is the vice president&rdquo; and &ldquo;Who won the Civil War?&rdquo; Although college students should easily be able to answer these questions, the results of this experiment were shocking.</p>
<p>When asked who won the Civil War, one student replied, &ldquo;Like, that one in 1965?&rdquo; And that response is not even the worst of the bunch.</p>
<p>PoliTech, the group who created the video, released a statement saying, &ldquo;This video is not a criticism of the school&rsquo;s academics, but instead a bold message to college students everywhere to be more politically involved.</p>
