More Thanksgiving tales of our early days. This one is a little politically incorrect too, to say nothing of white microaggressions against the native Americans. This is a story I was NOT taught in school, but should have been.
Enjoy!
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this ping list for Revolutionary War/Founding father interests.
Those stupid English. They didn’t know how to farm, or hunt, or cut trees, or anything. Well, they knew how to make ocean going vessels. (Best Monty Python voice). “And the gunpowder. Don’t forget the gunpowder.”
So, the two of us were not taught the true nature of THANKSGIVING in our classrooms. The first grade, here, was in 1953 (a grade school in a small Texas town south of Big D). After learning the revised, PC story, many years later, it is now questioned just when were the necessary adjustments made in teaching the youth of AMERICA? And as to the Constitutional Amendment any child born on AMERICAN soil was given the gift of American Citizenship. When were students pouring out of the classroom stating that scenario for the first time? And how long will we allow the same clap trap in our education system.
AMERICA first needs to change her schools and how children are taught by Conservative, truthful teachers. For many years American youth were taught by dishonest leaders with an untruthful agenda..and that agenda grew as the roots went deeper each year. GET GOVERNMENT out of our school system!!
