"-those of you concerned with Quincentenary K-12 curriculum should also look
in to the themes for the 1992 summer reading programs in public libraries.
In many states (at least here in North Carolina) these are state-wide
themes, material packets, etc. decided on and distributed by the State
Library. Lets make sure the themes next year aren't Columbus glorification."

The following article is a response to this suggestion. --Gary ]
