It’s stunning really, but it’s a testament to the mis-education of today’s youth. According to Duke Pesta, an English professor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, most college students think America invented slavery ~

For 11 years, Professor Duke Pesta gave quizzes to his students at the beginning of the school year to test their knowledge on basic facts about American history and Western culture.
 
The most surprising result from his 11-year experiment? Students’ overwhelming belief that slavery began in the United States and was almost exclusively an American phenomenon, he said.
 
“Most of my students could not tell me anything meaningful about slavery outside of America,” Pesta told The College Fix. “They are convinced that slavery was an American problem that more or less ended with the Civil War, and they are very fuzzy about the history of slavery prior to the Colonial era. Their entire education about slavery was confined to America.”

These confused young people obviously think slavery has been eradicated worldwide then, or they’d certainly be filled with righteous indignation at the thought that it still exists – right? I’d like to think so.
 
Here’s a church in Kansas that could not only educate them on the facts about global human trafficking (even here in the U.S.!) but provide them with a way to support efforts to end it ~ #RunToStopIt ~
 

It may seem hard to believe, but there are some 40 million victims of human trafficking in the world. An estimated 12 million of them are children.
 
It’s a huge problem both overseas and in the United States.
 
The harsh reality that trafficking happens in his home of Kansas City, Missouri, forced Pastor Phillip O’Reilly of the Rock of KC Church to take action.
 
O’Reilly’s answer to the problem came in the form of a campaign called, “Run to Stop It.” The annual event encourages his church to use the city’s 5K and half marathons as a way to spread awareness about sex trafficking and to raise money to help fight it […]
 
“We’ve gotta put a stop to this, we’ve got to say enough,” he said. “We’ve got to say not in our city, not in our nation, not in our world. We’ve got to stand up and tell the darkness, ‘You aren’t going to keep doing this without a fight.'”

So don’t run and hide in your “safe spaces” kids. Let’s try to make the world a better place – by first being better informed about true evil.
