Paying Students $17.76 If They Can Answer Questions About Independence Day
For the 4th of July, Campus Reform video reporter Addison Smith went around Washington, D.C. to see if students knew basic facts about Independence Day.
Smith asked them if they knew the year America declared independence, who we declared it from, what war was fought to gain independence, among others.
If students answered all the questions correctly, they would receive $17.76.
Many students struggled to even recall the 1776. One student answered that America gained independence in 1986. Another student said America declared their independence from George Washington, and several students named the Civil War as the American Revolution.
After forty-four interviews, only three walked away with the cash prize.
Watch the full video above.
