I know a professor who taught at a community college in Brooklyn. He had a section on 9/11 and would warn his students if they had a personal connection to the events that they may want to skip those classes. Some students who were native life long New Yorkers didn't even know what 9/11 was.
The only way I can fathom this being the case in Brooklyn is a combination of kids living under a rock and a total failure of the local public education system.
