If so how is explained, the growing body of evidence showing the Phoenicians and other groups were here 1000 to 2000 years earlier?

Im in the 8th grade, and it wasn't untill i was in 6th grade that they told us that there was other people that came to america before him. Now they kind of touch on the subject, but they still give columbus the credit for civilizing and settling it

What about Aboriginal people... weren't they there first so therefore didn't they "discover" the Americas. What about The Vikings who "discovered" Newfoundland in Canada.
Columbus was not the first... he was just a bragger.

They give Vikings the credit for the 'discovery'. Columbus is given the credit for starting the mass migrations of Europeans here.

i am in the 6th grade and i didn't learn until 5th grade that someone might have actually discovered it before him. i don't think younger kids are ready to understand the real story, but they will b by 5th grade.
