"Yale-Educated Lupita Nyong’o Admits She Never Heard of ‘The Odyssey’ Before Helen of Troy Casting
Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o has admitted that before being cast as Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of the 2,800-year-old Greek classic The Odyssey, she had never even heard of the epic story, despite having graduated from Yale University.
“I really had no idea what The Odyssey was,” she told Elle Magazine. “I was like, ‘oh, snap, I don’t know the first thing about this.’ So it was a crash course. I picked up the books and read them immediately. I have this film to thank for my Greek mythological education.”
The admission is startling considering the fact that she is a graduate of one of America’s most elite universities. The actress — born to Kenyan parents in Mexico, then raised in Kenya — graduated from Hampshire College with a theater degree, then went to Yale in 2009 and obtained a master’s degree in acting in 2012. She also attended several high-status colleges in Kenya."

Imagine going to an Ivy League university and never hearing about Homer or the Odyssey. This is a perfect example of how dumbed down American education has become.
