The state board of education governs the curriculum around America's history and the origins of Thanksgiving.

The board provides grade-level guidelines and resources for teachers to consider in lesson plans.

Wake County Schools said it supports the controversial tweet.

Well then at this point it’s up to parents to tell the kid to do whatever the #### he decides and if he/she gets in trouble they will stand by him/her.

BTW, does this c### go out of the way to stop cultural appropriation from foreign kids/adults who use an American made product, Twitter?

Our five year old grandson is homeschooled...I helped him make his grocery bag Indian vest and feather headband to wear for thanksgiving. And I am reading him Rush Revere’s First Thanksgiving book. Being politically correct is not my strong suit. ROFL

Virtue signaling morons who do not know history, yet are over-paid to "teach" it.

1. First, they stole the true meaning of Thanksgiving and turned it into a hallmark holiday.

2. Second, they snivel that the fake hallmark holiday is "misappropriating" somebody's something.

Tell me how Thanksgiving has anything, whatsoever, to do with Pilgrims or indians?

President George Washington, Thanksgiving Proclamation, 3 October 1789

When I went to elementary school in the 1960s, it was a golden era compared to today.

I have heard that some public schools teach that the Pilgrims had Thanksgiving to thank the Indians. Do they really teach that?

Lately, some have been calling Thanksgiving a secular holiday. How is giving thanks to God secular?

Do they think that, when Washington and Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday, they were merely declaring that everyone should have a big dinner?

Director of Equity. What a waste of tax dollars. How about a Director of Making Sure Our Students Learn Their ABCs?

But it’s ok for the little Hispanic illegal alien and over stayed visa middle eastern students to make Pilgrim hats?

https://www.wcpss.net/cms/lib/NC01911451/Centricity/Domain/1047/November%202018%20K-5%20Menu.pdf Check out their school menu. Vegan and vegetarian. This week and this week only, meals were “manager’s choice” so wonder what the kids got? Can’t have turkey and dressing advertised because somehow that would be cultural appropriation even though historically no turkey was served at the first Thanksgiving. But, hey, don’t teach the truth.

When I was a kid, we put on a Thanksgiving play for the school superintendent. My indian outfit was made from a brown paper bag “shirt”, construction paper headdress, and a little face paint under each eye.

Just another reason why being a kid in the 80s rocked.

Wait a minute. Wouldn’t the Pilgrims be undocumented immigrants? I thought the Left loved undocumented immigrants.
