I agree nobody will really care about this.
I would say that a very small percentage of Americans would know when the first settlers arrived at Jamestown, and one would have to be a real history nerd to really know the answer, not that there is anything wrong with history nerds you understand.
In the broader matter of a college education, however, I still contend that a post secondary education is a valuable asset, and that that is the least we should expect in the 21st century of those who would propose to lead us.
I would say as well that there are very few university graduates who would as well know the answer to that matter.
You don't have to be a history nerd. You just have to be a Virginian.
