I assume that because American kids score so bad on things like geography, etc.
term you wish to use.

If you asked them who wrote the declaration of independence, I am sure someone would say its "George Jefferson". They would talk about how he and "Weezie" went to live an Moticello after George opened up enough dry cleaners.

Of course I could rip off the joke from "Tommie Boy" where the character confused John Hancock with Herbie Hancock.

Still, I do not think a discussion of the faulty product coming out of our schools was the original intention of the thread.
