Erdogan seeks to make the rest of Turkey as ignorant as he is

NY Times:

Erdogan Is Targeting Education in His Bid to Remake Turkey

Seeking re-election, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hopes to leave a lasting imprint by opening thousands of religious schools, even as standards slip in public ones.
Erdogan has been the worst modern leader in Turkey's history.  He is an Islamist know-nothing who has ridiculous ideas such as Muslims discovered the Americas and built mosques here before the European discovery of America.  In fact, the only contribution of Islam to the discovery of America was their blocking of the normal trade routes from Europe to India.  That is what led Columbus on his journey to discovery of the new world.  Putting him in charge of education is a mistake.
