Florida students should certainly be learning the REAL timeline of colonization in our country. A recent program on the National Geographic Channel called "America Before Columbus" took the viewer right up to Columbus's arrival, discussed it and skipped straight to Jamestown as the beginning of colonization in America. Shame on National Geographic for not addressing St. Augustine. Good for Dr. Gannon and Ms. Gioia. Florida students should certainly be learning the REAL timeline of colonization in our country.
