Liberals always treat Indians like they are some kind of peace-loving, tree-worshipping, combine-dwelling hippies. Shoot, they took each other's land all the time and then skinned the owners alive. The whole east coast was just one massacre after another until Smallpox came along.
Yep, this is just more political correctness in the classroom.
Yep, we stole the land from the peace loving native peoples.
As a side note, I'm surprised we're allowed to still call it Thanksgiving, because that has a strong element of thanking God for what we have.
I've been expecting that the name Thanksgiving would be de-emphasized, just as the name Christmas has been de-emphasized, and rolled up into the "holiday season" where there are lots of holidays.
Don't confuse us with the facts.
The whole North American Continent was awash in blood from their near-constant inter-indian warfare until they were finally civilized by the musket and the bible, both wielded by the white man.
Ahh yes, the "noble savage" clique; like those noble Aztecs who would cut the hearts out of people, living in this utopia until white man came along.
