As part of a question and answer portion of the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant, Upton was asked by the questioner Aimee Teegarden, "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

Upton responded:

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

You can't DRIVE to Alaska!" I asked him why he thought it impossible and he told me it was because Alaska was an island over by Hawaii. When asked how sure he was of that fact he offered up the bet, which I took in a heartbeat, then ran to grab a newspaper off his desk to prove his claim. He flipped it open to the weather section and pointed out to me that Alaska was IN FACT an island. The look on his face was priceless when I pulled up a map online to show him the true location.
