Geo-Illiteracy, a 'must-read' by NCHE Board Member William E. White

We received news this morning that an must-read article by NCHE board member William E. White has been published by Huffington Post. The subject? Geo-Illiteracy:

"Today we live in a "flat world" with lightning-fast communications, with international travel calculated in hours, with decreasing restrictions on international trade and commercial transactions, and in which the United States is the world power. 

"Even as the United States' international role grows, however, our knowledge of the world we live in lags behind. Since 1994, geographic literacy -- understanding of places and cultures of the world -- declined among American twelfth-graders, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Even educated adult Americans are uninformed and unsophisticated about geography."
