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.
LOL... let's not give them any ideas. ;)
I think your wish may soon come true. I had a store clerk two nights ago say to me, have a happy holiday. I took note of it because while you hear that more and more at Christmas, I think this is the first time I heard it during Thanksgiving.
