I'm worried about the poor quality of education for the wealthy

Mrs. Bush's twin daughters are fashion forward, and she has approved their inaugural dresses, perhaps mindful of Chelsea Clinton's unveiling midparade on Pennsylvania Avenue of a miniskirt eight years ago, a moment that Mrs. Bush called a "wardrobe malfunction."

And she confessed that on the last day of the fall campaign her daughter Jenna announced that she and her sister, Barbara, would be joining their parents in an Iowa town, Sioux City, which Jenna pronounced "Sigh-yocks City."

"Don't put that in!" Mrs. Bush said quickly, as her listeners exploded in laughter. "It was so funny. She was totally humiliated."

Skipping right over the superfluous shot at the highly educated and sober Chelsea Clinton, didn't these people ever discuss American Indians in their home? This is the one who wants to teach!

Maybe I'm a complete snob, but I checked and my 15 yr old knew the word. Is it common for college grads to have blind spots like this?
