David George, a professor at St. Anselm's College...contends that casting Bush as Leonidas is quite ironic since Persia was arguably the more civilized society.

These professors teach the exact opposite of knowledge. Their students actually become more ignorant listening to them.

True. But Persia was more civilzed than Sparta back then, though.

Persia *was* the more "civilized" society, in some respects, however, like most societies originating in Asia, despotism was the norm. What the professors teach isn't the opposite of knowledge, but *selective* knowledge, and absent critical thinking, which is not only not taught, but discouraged and disparaged, you have the results we now have...
