An American public school studentApril 30, 2011 at 12:40 AM
This is completely false…we basically switch back and forth every year between U.S. history and world history. Some people are just plain ignorant for think we learn like this..
“An American public university student” Must be a hick town university that has 3 professors. And he/she was clearly talking about US and World history, not grammar.
just saying, I had a great Geography teacher who pushed for us to learn about anywhere else, not just the US. we played map games, where one member of each team stood in front of the different maps around the room. the teacher would call out a location and we’d have to find it. It was actually really neat and I still remember where a bunch of random locations are around the world. if you believe the cartoon, you are an ass, really and truly
Its funny because americans are ignorant and don’t think the rest of the world exists… the cartoonist is both original and sophisticated, making sure to include a new point of view while also being insightful. Congratulations. I’ve never seen this clever joke before.
You would also be ignorant if you think all Americans are ignorant or that there are no people outside of U.S. are ignorant. This cartoon may be a joke, but mostly a wrong generalization.
Ya all American public schools are horrible. Especially mine, that was named the #1 school in the world for AP Calculus. We totally taught this in history class.
Except that U.S. classes are now called Global Studies, focused entirely on the rest of the world, and mentioning the U.S. in any essay we write is an automatic failure.

The US in the cleavage of the world. Nice, and appropriately American also.
In my geography classes the maps never looked like this. Also, the flag isn’t drawn correctly. Joe Public is a terrible idiot. Everywhere.
I wouldn’t just limit that to public schools.
i find this terribly offensive
you would
He protects you and you go for his throat. Nicely done. Very uninformed citizen of you. Too many opinions and too little knowledge.
hahah

I guess the humor’s lost on me… perhaps because my school, though admittedly shitty, was nothing like this?
I find this quite funny.
You’re our hat. Be quiet.
You’re our underwear, shutup.
Pfft Canada is America’s tophat. You have enough class to be a top hat but you’re still headwear.
and you’re our underwear, good enough to be classy underwear but still used to hold all the nuts.
That’s not true at all. I learned a lot about the rest of the world and I went to public school.
It’s funny because it’s true.
What about Alaska and Hawaii?

Hel-lo!! The usa is the butthole of the world, actually, not the cleavage!
Ugh… When will people learn that the south does not speak for the education standards of the entire US?
And when will people learn to not stereotype people for the locations they live in?
Frankly I think it should be renamed: An Southern Geography Lesson

He was being sarcastic genius.
