And if you want to go even further back in time, the correct usage would have been "was graduated from....."

There's a lot of very well educated speakers who are playing to the emotions of rural white voters. They are entertainers, actors and charlatans, don't be hoodwinked by their little Kabuki theater show or the shameless pandering, it's all a well orchestrated -- and very profitable -- stage show.
