Sure, you could write off Miss South Carolina Teen USA Caitlin Upton's spectacular fumble of the question "Why can't twenty percent of Americans find America on a map?" as just another example of an over-tanned bimbo trying to sound smarter than she is. Or perhaps you could try to see her verbal stumbling as a post-modern attempt to illustrate this country's crumbling education system. With each repetition of the word "America," imagine Caitlin pleading for Congress to reexamine No Child Left Behind and other educational reforms of the past ten years. Imagine her reaching out, for something better.
