    i am going to pretend the master's was like some STEM b.s., because my MS is in STEM and the ignorance of the arts and broad strokes history is characteristic.

    but my fear is that person was an MA in like the classics and i can't reconcile that with it only being tuesday.

      MS in Education, they were an art teacher. We were talking about art history, which is how Muhammad and Alexander came up.

      Teaching elementary school art, a teacher probably doesn't need to have the best grasp of history. But it was still pretty shocking since these are two of the biggest figures in the western history. It's not like some western educated person not knowing that Cao Cao predates Kublai Khan or whatever.
