IN HIS DEFENSE...:
Ben Carson's campaign made a U.S. map and put a bunch of states in the wrong place (Christopher Ingraham November 18, 2015, Washington Post)
Happy Geography Awareness Week! Recognizing that "too many young Americans are unable to make effective decisions, understand geo-spatial issues, or even recognize their impacts as global citizens," National Geographic created this annual observance to "raise awareness to this dangerous deficiency in American education."Ben Carson's presidential campaign inadvertently underscored this point Tuesday night, when it took to social media to share a map of the United States in which five New England states were placed in the wrong location. The campaign deleted the Twitter and Facebook posts Wednesday morning after media outlets and social media users pointed out the error.
...don't we just assume he plagiarized the map?
