Nobody ever confused us for a country of history scholars. WashPost reports today that a disturbing number of US college kids think Martin Luther King, Jr. was an abolitionist. Well, I'm sure he would have been anti-slavery if that had been the pressing issue of his time. So I guess these idiots aren't totally wrong.And for more fun with distorted history, look no further than our fearless leader (OK, so it's a parody).

I think they forget to address the fact that most college students probably don't even know what the word "abolitionist" means...
So true. So true.
