Education

Dennis Prager interviewed a woman who says her eighth-grade son's teacher decided to take his class to hear Angela Davis, communist criminal, speak. The lady in the interview mentioned that she didn't know about Davis, but learned about her from this post on Hip Hop Republican.

Makes you feel good about American education, although most American students would probably think that Sherlock Holmes is a Mexican gangster.

Report: 1 in 4 Britons Think Winston Churchill Never Existed:

One in four Britons don't believe wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill existed, according to a recent survey.

Churchill is compared to Florence Nightingale and Sir Walter Raleigh, seen by many survey respondents as a mythical person, the London Daily Mail reported Monday.

The survey, conducted with 3,000 respondents to test their general knowledge, reported other historical figures such as Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, Cleopatra and the Duke of Wellington were made up for books and films, the Mail reported.

The survey, by UKTV Gold, also found that Sherlock Holmes was a real person.

Young Britons under 20 lack a basic historical education according to the survey results, historian Correlli Barnett told the Daily Mail.

"This suggests a complete lack of common sense and respect for our greatest heroes of the past," Barnett said.
