They are being purposefully taught improper history.

The Pilgrims got along with the Natives.

People who deny history are frequently doomed to repeat it. This constant editing of humanity’s back story will not end well.

At their core Democrats are America haters. When they control institutions, they use them to corrode American culture.

It’s a harvest festival, which is a venerable custom across diverse cultures. Ours happens to be attached to this particular event in Plymouth.

As far as “colonialism” is concerned — I’ll bet that all of these anti-coloniaists are open borders types that welcome any and all who come here but won’t admit that they are just more occupants of “stolen land.” The stolen land has become much more crowded since I was a kid. And I am including those from points south as well. An indio from Bolivia is not the same as an indio from New Mexico or North Dakota. If they want some hair-raising accounts of conflicts between the colonials and the natives, they should read the history of Mexico.

I am ashamed, but not surprised, that my alma mater is on the forefront of this. It was liberal but open-minded when I was there fifty years ago; not the leftist propaganda-mill nut house it appears to be today.

Screw them. They can leave if they don’t like American holidays.

Our schools reinvention of America’s history, the current ascent of Muslim populations beginning to pepper our landscape demanding accommodation for Sharia Law, emasculation of political opposition to the current wave of progressivism which should be the benchmark of a now feckless Republican Party, advocacy for illegals coupled with the assault (vocal and physical) on the Constitutionally proscribed remedy currently being implemented—how long before America succumbs to the war being waged within our very borders?

The author uses the word ‘Equality’ for the E in DEI but it is actually ‘Equity’ - a very different thing. Equality implies the same opportunity for all, equity implies all outcomes should be leveled.

More on tearing apart every traditional American holiday.

I will be celebrating this important holiday with family and friends, hope everyone else will as well. Yard is beautifully decorated with a Thanksgiving theme.

Since I’ve become an adult, Thanksgiving has been favorite holiday. If it gets these people’s knickers in a knot, I like it even more. Gives me one more thing to be thankful for.

If it wasn’t for colonists the Indians still wouldn’t have the wheel. And they would still be warring and slave taking.

First they went after Columbus Day and I said nothing because I’m not of Italian heritage.

Then they went after Thanksgiving and I said nothing because I’m not of New England heritage.

Then they went after Veterans Day and I said nothing because I didn’t serve in the military.

Then they went after Independence Day and there were few people left to defend that day.

BTW America First is kind of the same thinking. Why should people in Kansas care if Maine is attacked? Tell me when they’ve gotten to the Mississippi River.

Leftists, being the envious, humorless, degenerates they are, destroy and defile everything they touch. A world created by leftists is a joyless, violent, grief-filled one.

Teachers want to decolonize.....you first. Get your worthless butt on a plane back to wherever your ancestors came from. You won’t be missed.
