  1. Lori Poston –

    I used this on Columbus Day and ended up with a very upset parent. This particular parent is a social studies professor, and he blasted me on how inacurrate the information in the article was. It made for a stressful day for me.

      Oh, my! I worked very hard on researching the information in this article. I used extremely reputable sources and had it edited by social studies teachers. Can you let me know what he said specifically? I want to make this right! Please email me at [email protected].

      Thank you!
