#3 Speaking of "sad commentary", we have the tale of California Alternative High Schools...

CAHS targeted Hispanic immigrants, charging students between $450 and $1,450 for a course school officials said would lead to a valid diploma and help the recent immigrants get into college, find better jobs and get financial aid. The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs investigated after getting numerous complaints that "graduates" from CAHS courses couldn't get admitted to vocational programs or were fired for not having a valid high school diploma. Investigators said the inaccurate lessons that were taught include:

There are 53 states in the United States, but that the "flag has not yet been updated to reflect the addition of the last three states" - Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.

World War II began in 1938 and ended in 1942.

There are two houses of Congress - the Senate and the House, and "one is for Democrats and the other is for the Republicans, respectively."
