Seattle Public Schools has distributed a letter to their teaching staff instructing them to be sensitive to the fact that for many Indian people, “Thanksgiving” is a time of mourning.

Well, .....do the right thing: Pack up and move back to Europe.
Wow, a much more interesting misture than my family has!!
We have Narragansett, Sheshone, and Brit!!
Mourning?
The British call July 4th "Thanksgiving"....Gotcha back....LOL
Sadly, the Seattle Public Schools have a long history of providing far more than their fair share of Marxist, anti-American and anti-White indoctrination.
This gem from April of this year may be of interest (and it's real, not an April Fool's joke)

Incidentally, screw the Indians. They are a conquered people and there are conquered people in just about every country in the world.
If it bleeds it leads! Give it a few more years, and instead of football games on Thanksgiving, it'll be giant bipolar/rabies injected hens from hell ripping each other apart that we'll be wagering on over pumpkin pie!
Kinda like how "the view" earned it's claim to flame.
Considering the subject, I think a good scalping is in order.
Thank you Osage!
just WOW!! And seriously think about it, these folks probably VOTE!! No wonder this country is going down the tubes!
Is this satire?
I’m speechless.
Not all of us are, I promise you. Only the majority in a couple of key counties which have a population advantage that swings State elections.
There is a lot of red in this blue state.
"While still in Holland, the Pilgrims sold all they owned, and still didn’t have nearly enough to finance their expedition. They turned to the private investors who demanded that in the New World the Pilgrims own and farm the land in common, put the fruits of their labors each day in a common storehouse, each taking out the same amount, no matter how much — or little — they put in.
The Pilgrims objected on the grounds that it was a mistaken socialist, collectivist arrangement, against God’s principles of private property and economic justice , based on "as ye sow, so shall you reap." But the investors, while not philosophical socialists but pragmatic business men, insisted, on the grounds that it would provide a convenient arrangement for the dividing of the expected profits.
But the first year under communal agriculture, the Pilgrims planted just 26 acres and nearly starved to death. As Governor Bradford reported, "they gathered in the small harvest that they had." They shared what they could with the Indians, and the Indians shared the deer they had slain for the occasion with the Pilgrims, but it was no huge Thanksgiving feast, and they soon were acutely hungry.
The second year, knowing they had to go all out, but still under the obligation to practice communal agriculture, they doubled their first year’s production, and planted 60 acres. But that was no by means enough, they still were near starvation.
And so the third year, they switched to private agriculture, assigned each family its own property, made each responsible for itself. They planted 184 acres, tripled their best previous effort, and never went hungry again."

I’m sure there are a few good people there too. I am generalizng, of course. But, whenever I see news item lead off with a Seattle dateline, it always seems to be about some despicable act committed by the far left, such as an ati-War protest at a soldier’s funeral, as was the case in a recent story.
Did they hear about it via smoke signals?
Uh, I thought the Indians celebrated Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims. When did it become lumped into the whole Columbus-phobia shit?
LOL! Tell that to the Indian tribe that helped the Pilgrim settlers because they were anxious to have some assistance in protecting themselves from another Indian tribe that had been attacking them.
