Education by Zinn and Jefferies, is not

Uneducated

How you can be schooled, but not educated

“ In the Fall of 1991 I was asked to write a review-article about Martin Bernal's Black Athena and its relation to the Afroentrist movement.  The assignment literally changed my life.  Once I began to work on the article I realized that here was a subject which needed all the attention, and more, that I could muster. Although I was completely unaware of it, there was in existence a whole literature that denied that the ancient Greeks were the inventors of democracy, philosophy, and science. There were books in circulation that claimed that Socrates and Cleopatra were of African descent, and that Greek philosophy had actually been stolen from Egypt.  Nor only were these books being read and widely distributed; some of these ideas were being taught in schools and even in universities.  I soon discovered that one of the universities where students were being taught these strange stories about Greece was my own alma mater, Wellesley College. - Mary Lefkowitz. Introduction: Not Out Of Africa: How "Afrocentrism" Became An Excuse To Teach Myth As History ” Dr. Lefkowitz once recounted on the WSJ's editorial page that when she questioned Leonard Jefferies (perhaps the  foremost practitioner of this voodoo version of history) about the accuracy of what he was saying, the students in attendance booed and nearly attacked her.  Graduates of schools where these disciplines are taught may be schooled, but are they educated in any useful way? Listening to Obama-Rama make gaffe after gaffe while reciting what he understands to be American history is a case in point.  He's the product of  Ivy League schooling, where Western Civilization is no longer taught, but the study obscure Ethiopian poets is.  Obama's Red Roots were further nurtured by the likes of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, and other hard left America haters named Wright, Pfleger, and Michelle. I once entertained the notion that Obama might be an actual Manchurian Candidate, but I'm now inclined to agree with the Occam's Razor-compatible theory advanced by Limbaugh, that he is just another Tammany Hall-like Bozo, selected by Democrats who desperately want a return to power, and see Obama as the perfect, controllable tool.  Jefferson Smith, if you will, but without the patriotism or morals.  Or education.
