PC is a "tyranny of the minority"--and it happens without much debate or discussion of the consequences.
PC has no cost-benefit studies before actions are taken.
It would be outsanding if one of these california “dads” would stop drinking lattes and disscussing mens fashion to give this guy a good punch in the throat.
Well I see that to be PC complaint we shall have no history, no heros, and therefore no future.
A nation trying to implode - just like Britain. Unbelievable.

Santa will get axed soon.
I’m offended by the “evil, violent, white christian zealot” stereotype. Can we get rid of that?
and in the story, someone said that Thanksgiving is a myth.
I have a copy of Gov. William Bradford’s “Bradford’s History” published, after many decades of searching for his manuscript, in the late 1800’s. (It continues in reprints as “Of Plymouth Plantation.”
Gov. Bradford gave an account of the first Thanksgiving, and of their 90 Indian guests - and their 3 days of feasting and playing games together.
He was there. I’ll take his word for it.
The ‘myth’ that still irritates me is the black and white dress that they mistakingly still attribute to the Pilgrims. (It was the straight laced Bay Colony, of Boston, Puritans who dressed in black and white. They were a bitchy bunch - the beginning of the liberals in the new world.)
The Pilgrims loved colors and dyed their cloths with reds, greens, blues, oranges, yellows - indeed, their spiritual leader, Elder William Brewster’s favorite pieces were his red velvet cape and his green ‘breeches’.
The original Plymouth Pilgrims made fast friends with the local Indians. They never stole land from them but always paid for it. They had a mutual 50/50 treaty with them that included mutual aid against their common enemies, the Indians to the south = including the Pawtuxets. (Their battles with the latter was nothing to do with ‘racist’ but to do with a warring enemy.)
Good thing I wasn’t at the meeting for I would have suggested that before anyone opined about the whats and what nots of the Pilgrims take a bit of time and read what the Pilgrims wrote = and what their contemporaries wrote about them. Otherwise, go suck a clam.
Native American=Nazi?!?!? WTH?! The Indians/Native Americans were NOT the bad guys in the Thanksgiving story!
If damage to a society is the concern then they must also stop celebrating homosexuality.
If she didn’t want her kid to participate, she could have taken her kid out of school on that day. Typical liberals want to ruin every holiday for the rest of the folks.
Californians get exactly what they deserves. I wonder how those “outraged” parents vote?
Boxer? Feinstein? Obama?
Have fun, you morons.
>> four people who complained the celebration used “racist stereotypes” which were “dehumanizing”.
It’s things like this that will wash the history of the Native American to the wind. The complaint is disgraceful, and ultimately disrespectful to the interests of the children, and to the heritage of North America.
“Raheja claimed that the children dressing up as Indians was “demeaning” and likened it to having them costumed as “Nazis”.
So, is Raheja mortified or does she think the children should be. I am displeased that she would interfere with a traditional celebration. I wonder how she would look after an application of pine pitch and feathers, now that would be up close and personal “demeanment”. We seem to have lost the ability to deal with such people.
I went to an all Indian school for 2 years and we dressed up as Pilgrims, buckle hats and all. Thanksgiving is a good holiday. I think we all thought that giving thanks to the Creator, whether we had a bounty or very little was important. The details of the past events weren’t so important as the idea of people coming together to give thanks. As children, regardless of what we thought of the past; we liked the story and wanted it to be our future.
It’s time for the families to stick together and dress all the kids in traditional Thanksgiving garb. Let the school expel all the kids for breaking the “dress code.”

Thanksgiving is the one holiday that every American family, regardless of religion or lack thereof, celebrates, and it is a uniquely American celebration. I have many acquaintances who are immigrants, and they LOVE the idea of Thanksgiving!

“who specializes in Native American literature”
Sort of like specializing in leprechauns, or perhaps minotaurs.
Fom the website www.senecaindian.com/seneca_tribal.htm:
War and Politics-PJThe Seneca were also great conquerors, highly skilled at warfare, and having been given guns by the Dutch colonists, were fierce adversaries to any other tribe who tried to resist their takeover. One of the distinctive features of the Iroquois warriors' appearance was their hair, which they kept shaved in "Mohawk" fashion, and their heavily tattooed bodies. Iroquois warriors were also believed to have participated in ritual cannibalism, and were also know to torture their prisoners.
