[edit] This can't be right?
1635 - The first public school in the U.S., Boston Latin Public School, is founded. That's what it says. I will check but I don't think that date is right. cpswarrior 06:04, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I think i used the wrong function in the wrong spot. I was trying to put the edit by 71.135.190.181 up for review to see if that was vandalism. I will just mark it as Vandalized! --Kingofslackrs 05:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Removed birth entries for 1990 and 91 labeled "Scottish Boy" and "Ninja," respectively. Obviously vandalism.--68.78.41.26 01:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
