Back when Tony Blair was PM of the UK, they brought in Civics and there was a TV show hosted by John Prescott, the then Deputy PM. Anyway, in the very first episode, they had 2 girls that got A*** (over exaggerated perfect score) in the class. They had no idea who they were talking to and when asked, they said they thought he was Churchill.
Jamie Oliver did a TV series about kids eating healthy food and the kids had no idea what 90% of the stuff was, including common items like apple and potatoes.
