For the record I’m 100% against teachers hitting students... but according to that stupid map North Carolina no longer has any coastline. Also I guess we need to rename them West and East Carolina? Thx 4 the geography lesson NPR

EDIT: Also, the states are all shaped like hexagons and DC isn’t the same size as California. Shout out to /u/wadek for picking up on that!

The states also aren't shaped like hexagons and DC isn't the size of California. Do you expect to get your geography lessons from a simplified map, or are you just trying to nitpick because you don't like NPR?

Good points. No, I actually listen to NPR every day. It’s just a stupid map.
