Today, I asked my class to name some West African countries. Several of them thought Ebola was a country. I teach an AP history class. FML

Yeah because hordes of uneducated peasants are better than a handful of dumb kids.

That's... wow. I don't understand that someone can be that dumb, let alone more than one person thinking that.

I feel your pain. As a white South African, foreigners constantly tell me that I'm not a true South African. Because, you know, obviously only black people inhabit South Africa. I even once had someone ask me, "So, do you know [insert name here]? He lives in Nigeria!" Yes, I OBVIOUSLY do. In Africa we all know each other. Since we don't have television or internet, we get to know every person on the continent in our dusty little towns with dirt roads and lions roaming the streets... Ugh! Ignorance. Such a damn bitch.

You're obviously talking about foreigners from outside Africa, but I'm a Namibian and I've had all of those questions asked by South Africans... Someone once ask ed me if we have an ocean *facepalm*

Well it IS Arizona... What were you expecting? It has one of the worst education ratings in America. At least now you can teach them.

Lol, it must have been a hilarious reaction when they found out that Ebola is a virus.

Stupidity isn't a disease but it sure is spreading like one.
