So my lil sis took her first environmental science class in collage today. She made a comment about Sunspots and her professor said "what is that"

I mean seriously how can we have these people teaching our future generations when they do not even have an understanding of elementary knowledge. On top of that I question how it is possible for a collage professor of Science to not even have any basic understanding of Astronomy 101 and by 101 I mean 8th grade Science when you learn about the solar system.

Now I could understand not remembering what they did but seriously having not a single clue of such a basic part of the solar system! It is like asking your cal teacher what 1+1 is and they said addition is for other math teachers.
