old. Just so its clear, we are so open about ELEs around our house that we are planning to go to the "End of the World BBQ" at Yellowstone august 2012

I hate to tell you but the teachers, principles, approved textbooks dump Lies on 9 year olds all the time. No facts or very distorted facts.
Ask your child Who was Christopher Columbus? They will say He discovered America. Opps, wrong answer. America was discovered many hundreds of years
before Chris sailed, in fact, Chris had a map of the world that showed America on it.
Get and Read this book: Lies My teacher Told Me by James Lowen
sundown.afro.illinois.edu... It details many popular Myths being taught to our
kids as truth and fact. James shows you were the lies are, presents the truth and examines why the text books are written in a misleading manner.
The true story of the mass murderer and pirate Christopher Columbus is included in this book as well as many others. read a copy, you will be shocked.
Best thing anyone can do is pull their kids out of public and private schools and home school them with true verifiable facts. You think your giving
your kids an education, you are really doing them more harm that will last a lifetime.
