GEOGRAPHIC ILLITERATES?

National Geographic did a survey of Americans and discovered that 49% of those surveyed couldn't find NEW YORK state on a U.S. map!  And on a world map, 11% couldn't find the U.S.A. -- their own country.

SO, with that in mind, I would like your opinion(s) on WHY this is.  Lack of teaching by the school systems?  The information is taught, but nobody cares?  A combination of factors? 

What's the beef!?
