How the Pentagon wants to cancel Thanksgiving and teach military kids that America is 'stolen land'
UK Daily Mail ^ | 07/12/2024 | James Reinl

Campaigners have uncovered worrying teaching materials for the Pentagon's 160 military schools that many service members may see as unpatriotic and even scary.

Training manuals for its 8,000 teachers advise that Thanksgiving feasts have no historical basis and that America was founded on land 'stolen' from natives.

Though uncontroversial for some, Adam Andrzejewski, who uncovered the documents via public records requests, calls it a 'perverse' way to teach kids of service members.

His revelations come as Republicans and Democrats clash in the Senate over LGBTQ+ troops and other controversies in the $886 billion defense bill.

Andrzejewski, head of the conservative watchdog OpenTheBooks.com, described a 'secret push within the Pentagon's K-12 public schools to institute radical ideologies' in classrooms.

'Encouraging kids to place complex identities ahead of their shared American ideals is particularly shocking when it's happening to military families,' he told DailyMail.com.

'It's a perverse way to approach children of service members who are deployed around the world defending American ideals and principles.'

And one Indian tribe stole land from other tribes.

Where I live the Utes and Navajo still don’t get along.

The Comanche “stole” Oklahoma and Texas from the Apache - in the mid-1700s. The Comanche had been there less than 100 years when whites started “stealing” it from them. And who knows who the Apache “stole” it from...

Whatever. The original harvest fest we now call Thanksgiving was when the Separatists, what we now call Pilgrims, celebrated along with the local natives. It was the 50, out of 100 people that survived that first winter, from the Mayflower and a bunch of Indians that they got along with.

It was nothing more than being thankful for the fall harvest. Governor Bradford’s writings are the only reason we know about it.

Child raising hand: “Teacher, what year did the Hitler dictator Donald Trump take over the country?”

Teacher: “Why, it was that dark time in our nation’s history 2017-2021.”

This anti-American, marxist horse manure started under Obama and the same regime is still running the country. It will take a lot more than 4 years to clean it out. Trump’s VP pick is very important and must be unequivocally MAGA and pro-Israel.

I remember that area. Love it. Wish I was there. You ever go to Durango to see Sacred Ridge where horrible tortures took place long before the White Man ever arrived?

Thank you.

In Mississippi, two tribes got togethers and massacred another tribe, down to the last person, except for one woman. Jackson, who wanted to relocate the tribes anyway, did not think that that should be going on in the States, so they moved them all to the territory of Oklahoma. The Indians were marched and the whites would watch them and try to give them food, which they would not accept. It was called the Trail of Tears. It was the whites who were crying, not the Indians. The Indians did not cry in their culture.

It was indeed a harsh event.

Stealing? hilarious.

there’s a reason the left doesn’t talk about what really happened to the natives of America.

After Columbus landed in 1492, he and/or his crew had inadvertently infected the natives.

By the time the pilgrims landed in 1620, 95%+ of the population in the Americas had been wiped out.

there was no war.

one could say it was God’s will.

Looks like the Pentagon is going to soon have a collision with reality (i.e., go Woke go broke because there are no recruits).
