It's fairly common knowledge that Vikings were here far earlier. Why are we teaching and inaccurate history? What is the purpose?

Actually if you could comprehend what you read it never said who was here first. I only questioned what was taught in schools.Actually the Indians were here earlier than the vikings...It's fairly common knowledge that Vikings were here far earlier. Why are we teaching and inaccurate history? What is the purpose?
As to your post you are wrong. The Myans/Aztec's were here before the Indians lol. But of course if we go back far enough and discuss the land bridge it was Europeans.
You should just shut up so as to not expose your continued ignorance
Well let us expose the full truth and not your usual half ass attempts at every thing in life...Actually if you could comprehend what you read it never said who was here first.

Do you have children currently in school? Grandkids?It's fairly common knowledge that Vikings were here far earlier. Why are we teaching and inaccurate history? What is the purpose?
"Why are our children taught that Columbus discovered North America?"
They aren't.
I do so. I know exactly what they're being taught as we discuss it.
Is it possible that some districts follow different curriculum? Or do you think everyone gets the same education?

To the best of my knowledge, Columbus never set foot in North America. Not only that, Columbus was a dick.
Christopher Columbus was awful but this other guy was not - The Oatmeal
But yes, the Vikings should be recognized for their contribution in discovering this continent. Them and Amerigo Vespucci...

Yes, and I'm a teacher. Find a high school History text that doesn't mention the Bering Land Bridge or Eric the Red.
With the Indians already in North America they should get credit for discovering it...
Europeans didn't cross the land bridge. Those were Asians.Actually if you could comprehend what you read it never said who was here first.
