Don’t know much about geography…

Via Otto (Inca Kola News) comes this gem.  Milwaukee County, Wisconsin Supervisor Peggy West a bit confused about the location of the State of Arizona:

Ok, so Ms. West’s intentions were good, and a County Board of Supervisors isn’t necessarily a font of learning.  But, if she’s looking to brush up the sixth grade geography she missed,  Burro Hall might suggest not calling upon the great minds at the  University of Kansas:

The University of Kansas had 18 students ready to fine-tune their Spanish skills this summer in Puebla, southeast of Mexico City. Then multiple killings in distant Ciudad Juárez in March prompted the State Department to issue a travel warning for northern Mexico. The university canceled its Puebla program.

Apparently they’re not teaching geography in college anymore, because if the idea (and it’s a good one) is to keep your students away from the insane violence in Juárez, then it’s worth noting that the University of Kansas’s main campus in Lawrence is near 200 miles closer to Juárez than Puebla is. Concerned administrators should be urging the entire student body to transfer north to the University of Iowa if they want to keep them outside the 1200-mile-radius Ciudad Juárez Kill Zone.

First time I’ve ever heard of Pueba being in northern Mexico, too.
