Thanks for the flag. No one needs to convince me of the importance of history in school curricula. I'm a believer! I've been to Berkeley Plantation, it's an interesting place.

As regards the assertion that Virginia does not include the Plymouth Pilgrims in our Standards of Learning, nothing could be further from the truth. School children begin learning about the Plymouth Pilgrims in the first grade. Whoever made the claim otherwise should be fired, as he is either incompetent or a determined liar -- or both.

Thanks for the info on the SOLs. I just assumed that that part of the article was correct. Silly me.
