i wasn't taught any of that... or at least none of it was passed off as fact. Any time i heard any of those stories, they were told just as that, stories. And i've never heard someone say that Columbus discovered the world is round. But i have heard some people say that Columbus was the first to sail to the america's which was wrong.
