Nobody made anything up, it's all over the internet, and anyone without a severe anti-Bernie bias can just watch the two videos and see that they are making the same points, precisely about Cuba's education.

If you're ever wondering why Bernie surges in the polls as the attacks on him ramp up, this is a good example.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
