I was talking to someone 8 years younger than me who graduated from a public
high school and has a college degree (in journalism).  They had no idea
what "Kent State" or "Watergate" were.

Their excuse was that they were younger than me and that those events
didn't happen in their lifetime.  I had to point out that one of them
didn't happen in mine, either, and the other happened when I was too
young to remember it.

I could understand someone a lot younger not having a clue, but it
surprised me a little that someone so close in age never learned about
either of those events.
