Maybe the Education System is Working After All

This item from ABC News may restore my faith in the educational system (h/t Best of the Web):

Recently, Larry Watson saw proof in one of the college classes he teaches that Black History Month was needed more than ever.

"I asked the students in my class whether they knew who their Senate representative was," said Watson, who teaches music and sociology at three colleges in Boston. "No one knew. And when I asked who was Sen. Edward Kennedy--the most activist senator in our country--the only thing most of my students could say was that he was fat and that he was drunk.

I hope that's how he's remembered in the history books.
