Some public schools spend more time teaching the Mercator projection is racist than how to work with a map.
Take a poll. Americans support over 50%. Discard poll
Media starts non-stop condemnation of the strike - Orange Man Bad
Take another poll
That doesn’t surprise me although I do get that the Mercator projection is hardly to scale.
I’d rather spend time & energy learning facts than trifling about issues to grind my ax & poison other peoples fragile minds.
47 percent also approve of trump’s killing the terrorist. I give everyone a break. Could I find Iraq? I’d certainly be in the general area for sure.
Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Irkutsk doesn’t have the same ring to it.
So far.
However, I would struggle to identify 12 countries on an unlabeled map of Africa.
Sub-Sahara, maybe five countries, and I would probably use the Colonial-era names for a couple of them.
Central America has always been a struggle for me, too.
Between Panama and Guatemala and Belize, I know Nicaragua, but the other three or four I always forget.
This is tired old schtick. Heavily edited crap.
Our publiK skool grad-u-mates couldn’t find Mexico on a map
Lunch was the only class that beat out Geography.
Easy to locate. It’s the one smack dab in the middle of muzzyland.
I learned from obamy the language of Austria is Austrian.
One thing that makes Iran stand out is its size. It is a large country, compared to the surrounding nations.
I always enjoyed Geography. I believe that course should be brought back to schools’ curricula. It would help future voters to understand where the U.S. is in the scheme of things, about other cultures and national mindsets, and other essential facts.
I can locate it. I’ve been on the ground there.
Yeah, I think they teach the boys how to put on makeup and fake a period. Girls learn about all the evils of patriarchal society.
"How 'bout I take your little board and smash it!!"
I can locate Iran, I just could never locate the transparency or ethics the Obama administration claimed to have.
What about the non-racist nationalists?
BTW, it’s not the folks who cannot find foreign lands who deserve the most ribbing, it’s the folks who can’t find States or provinces in their own countries.
