Judge Judith Sheindlin has held some high-profile positions in her career over the years – having been appointed by Mayor Ed Koch as a Manhattan Criminal Court judge in 1982, and rising to supervising judge of Manhattan Family Court in 1986.
In 1993, Judge Judy was profiled for her tough courtroom tactics on “60 Minutes,” and since 1996, she began appearing on “The Judge Judy Show.”
That biography does not include a presidential nomination, congressional confirmation, or service on the U.S. Supreme Court. But a new report Tuesday claimed that many recent college graduates think Sheindlin is among the nine justices.
The report claimed that surveys show that recent college graduates are “alarmingly ignorant of America’s history and heritage,” and that colleges and universities are doing little if anything to address the knowledge gap.
The advocacy group in the late summer of last year commissioned a research firm to ask recent American college graduates and the public at large about their understanding of American government. The group called the results “abysmal.”
A total of 9.6 percent of the college graduates marked that Sheindlin was on the Supreme Court, the report said.
