Today's post comes from an article in the Saturday, July 1 edition of the Scranton (PA) Times-Tribune entitled "In History, Stupidity Still Reigns" by editor Ron Davis. These excerpts are typed verbatim as it appeared in the paper...
...Copy editor Ron Davis poses... questions to Alan Rogers, Ph.D., chairman of the history department at Boston College, where he teaches U.S. constitutional history and the American Revolution...
Q: What's the dumbest question you've ever been asked about American history? (Besides [this one,] of course.)
A: "What side were the Americans on in the Revolutionary War?"
...Well, now, isn't that revolutionary.
