Last week, street reporter Austen Fletcher, a.k.a Fleccas, took to the University of Southern California campus to ask students if they knew the Pledge of Allegiance. While most students said they knew the pledge, only a handful could actually recite it, surprising even themselves.

“This week I went back to USC to see if students could recite the pledge of allegiance,” Fleccas captioned the video, adding, “Out of everyone we interviewed, 18 out of 31 people didn’t know or botched the pledge. Sad!”
