Fox tests nation's fifth-grade knowledge

Are you smarter than a 5th grader? I'd like to think I was, but if they got into a bit of history from the biased version of history reported in schools I might have a hard time. Pretty sure I would survive all of the 3 "r"'s. Can't imagine it is too difficult, but who knows what they teach kids now. I might have to answer questions about some boy bands or other random crap like myspace questions.

PASADENA, Calif. - Every parent's nightmare - being exposed for not knowing what's in your kid's school textbook - will soon play out on national television.

Fox announced Saturday that it is making a new game show, "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" that will air sometime later this year, perhaps as early as the spring.
