Blackwater's Erik Prince to Teach High School History

I thought I had hallucinated this fact, but it turns out its true. The founder and executive director of the U.S.'s most notorious multinational mercenary-for-hire corporation, Xe (formerly called Blackwater), has grown tired of being criticized for his organization's extralegal activities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and New Orleans. And so what will he do? Why, teach HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY of course.

This frightens me.

There's a good article about Prince's designs on teaching in a recent issue of Mother Jones; Jeremy Skahill has also written a really thorough book about Prince, his family, and his company's work in a book i am slowly making my way though, entitled Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.

I think its a good idea to read about this guy and his company; they are very deeply involved in ruling the world right now.
