When my oldest son was in elementary school years ago, they were all given a short piece of homework before Columbus Day on why the kids were to be happy that he discovered America.

I helped him with that homework by telling him some of the things that Columbus did that were not included in the lesson he was sent home with.

His teacher was not happy with me.

What are you listening to tonight?

Can you help us out?
