[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go, Virginia, go!  The brainwashing is disgusting. Do they give out tobacco bubble gum too?

We are definitely traveling a lot during 4th grade for our own learning adventures. [/quote]

Might I recommend Jamestown, Yorktown, Monticello, Montepelier, Mount Vernon, Manassas/Bull Run or Chancellorsville, and Williamsburg as excellent historical sites to visit.  [b]Oh wait, you wouldn't want to brainwash your children into thinking anything interesting happened in Virginia.[/b]

As far as tobacco goes, the story of tobacco in Virginia is fascinating.  How can your kids learn about and understand the roots of slavery in America and the history of black Americans without learning about tobacco?

And for the pp who said that most of the civil rights action was further South, you are clearly not familiar with the long and turbulent battle for integration in Virginia schools.  It was ugly.  And ever hear of Loving v. Virginia?  [/quote]

I'll take the top 3.  Say, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Bull Run.  Then move on.  There is plenty of interesting history in the rest of the US to keep us busy.

I prefer to make my own brainwashing curriculum rather than rely on some backwater good 'ole boys from Richmond.  Yeehaw![/quote]
