For the adults:

Here are some articles that support that Columbus didn't discover America.  Viking Leif Ericson was here almost 500 years before Columbus, not including the fact that Indian's lived in America way before Columbus set foot on their land.

Today, I taught my daughter history that I had learned from when I was a child.. but tomorrow she might be looking at a set of different historical facts or I hope she will.

What are your thoughts on this?  Review the following articles and tell me what you think.  :)
