Because the ones that skipped class survived.
The joke “Why are Americans bad at geography? Because the ones that skipped class survived” is a dark humor joke that plays on stereotypes and historical events. The setup plays on a common stereotype that Americans are not well-versed in geography. The punchline, however, introduces a grim twist by alluding to school shootings, suggesting that those who skipped geography class (or school in general) were the ones who survived such tragic events.
