Columbus

It's no wonder that so many parents want to home school their children when you have the ultra-leftist teachers union in control of the public schools, teaching historical revisionism to students. In defiance of Columbus Day and America's European heritage, Christopher Columbus is being demonized in many classrooms around the country. In some municipalities, Columbus Day is no longer even honored. Little by little, America's cultural heritage, values and way of life are being dismantled by the sick left and also due to the influx of third world immigrants. Since these leftists despise America so much and believe that the land was "stolen" from the Indians anyway, why don't they just pack up and haul their asses out of here and head to some third world hell hole of their choosing and leave the rest of us real Americans alone so we can take back our country.

TAMPA, Fla. (Oct. 11) — Jeffrey Kolowith's kindergarten students read a poem about Christopher Columbus, take a journey to the New World on three paper ships and place the explorer's picture on a timeline through history.
Kolowith's students learn about the explorer's significance — though they also come away with a more nuanced picture of Columbus than the noble discoverer often portrayed in pop culture and legend.

"I talk about the situation where he didn't even realize where he was," Kolowith said. "And we talked about how he was very, very mean, very bossy."
Columbus' stature in U.S. classrooms has declined somewhat through the years, and many districts will not observe his namesake holiday on Monday. Although lessons vary, many teachers are trying to present a more balanced perspective of what happened after Columbus reached the Caribbean and the suffering of indigenous populations.
"The whole terminology has changed," said James Kracht, executive associate dean for academic affairs in the Texas A&M College of Education and Human Development. "You don't hear people using the world 'discovery' anymore like they used to. 'Columbus discovers America.' Because how could he discover America if there were already people living here?"
