MTG only has real time knowledge of from 1974 onward. As far as she knows that's when the world began. In her world there was no Roman Empire, Holocaust, WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, Great Depression, Potato famine, Spanish American War. She is like a child of the third or fourth grade. It is plainly obvious that...that is her reality... as supplied by sitcoms, reality tv shows, and Infowars/Fox news entertainment programing and her peer group environment.

If this were our, yours and my only sources of information and knowledge... we all would be just as handicapped as her. One can't blame a person for not wanting to know anything outside of their level of concern or interest. For a fix, I would look to our national education program...and lament that was has been done... isn't going to be easy to undo and if there is a will to do so...it will take time, money and intelligent well intentioned persons to enact that program.

A good place to start is with the evangelicals. Then move up to the Heritage Foundation.
