The Daily Beast tested a number of Americans and produced the following statistics:
73% of Americans cannot say why we fought the Cold War
44% of Americans were unable to define the Bill of Rights
Miss Teen USA 2007 provided the last and most famous statistic:
Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans cannot locate the U.S. on a map.

UC Irvine students were interviewed spontaneously and replied correctly nearly 100% of the time. It is apparent that higher education does make a difference, but the only way to ensure that our future generations are educated is to protect our higher education system.

The UC Regents are currently proposing a 16% increase in tuition fees every year for the next four years to come to a grand total of 81% - that is $22,068 a year - nearly double of the current tuition. How can we ensure that the future generations are educated when we can't ensure that the current education system is available, accessible, and affordable to its students?

PROTECT THE UC SYSTEM!
