Well, first, let me say this moron of a teacher in SF went waaaay too far with what, 3rd or 4th graders? What he did was absurd and a little wacky, especially considering the age of the children.

Regarding your above statement, again, I think it's apples and oranges. I don't think that there in an overwhelming meme of American Indian superiority in U.S. culture. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see U.S. society talking about American Indians very much at all, in any way, let alone having positive messages rammed down our collective throats.
