As I stated before, I visited the Berkeley plantation and talked with its present owner Mr. Jamison.

I know the first Thanksgiving was celebrated there.

But you are wrong about the facts that the pilgrims did leave England and the Netherlands because of religious freedom, you can't dispel that.

And you missed the point of the posting which had to do with the removal of the founding fathers, AKA "old white men" and political correctness in our schools by so-called republicans. The civil war ended a long time ago, most of us, as immigrant Europeans who came in the late 1880's-1920's, were not even here at the time, it's time to end the war.

I think you have me confused with someone else. My post only addressed the accuracy of the report as to whether or not Virginia's Standards of Learning teaches about Pilgrims.

No, I didn't miss the point, I simply didn't comment on 'the point.' My post only addressed the accuracy of the report as to whether or not Virginia's Standards of Learning teaches about Pilgrims.
