Yikes. Could they be thinking of Thomas, 6th Lord Fairfax--who of
course didn't "settle Virginia" but did settle in Virginia?
Offhand, I can't think who else they'd have in mind. Do you have an
exact citation of the standard in question?
As you probably know, such "standards" can be distinctly substandard.
I have no particular knowledge of Virginia's standards, but my husband
teaches government in a Maryland high school, and identifying errors in
the state standards and tests there has become a sort of grim parlor
game for him and some of his colleagues. I don't know why the Virginia
materials would be any more reliable.
