The show takes successful people and asks them questions that are at a 5th grade level. Many of the questions cannot be answered. This seems to me to make our education system irrelevant to the real world. I thought the liberal establishment would have a problem with this.
So I ask, why liberals and groups like the teacher's union not protesting this show?

Because this supports their ideas that the average American isn't smarter than a 5th grader and therefor they should take our money as "wisely" spend it for us.

Maybe when a liberal goes on the show and looks as ignorant as all those cons that are on the show they might protest. Frankly I am not familiar with the show. I rarely watch TV I would rather read and be informed than sit like a lump of clay and watch the pretty pictures flash in front of my face brain numb and continually dumbing down.

Because we are the party of compassion for the less fortunate; Not for the ignorant - When it comes to watching those 5th graders run intellectual laps around all those conservatives on the show; It's just too d@mn amusing for words!

successful people?
have you watched the show?
the questions are answered by 5th graders.
what is wrong with that.
the fact that idiots get on game shows has absolutely nothing to do with education or political views.

because the questions on the show are "not" culturally biased. They appeal to the intelligence??, of most Americans.
Which it it why it is so important to know what TV show Paris Hilton was on!!!.

From what I see (ignoring your premise) Americans really know very little about what is going on outside of its borders.
