The Iroquois were pretty well-known for terrorizing their neighbors all over the area that’s now New York State. Does she have any of the shame we’re supposed to feel about her tribe’s depredations?

“It’s demeaning,” Michelle Raheja, the mother of a kindergartner at Condit Elementary School, wrote to her daughter’s teacher.

Demeaning? Oh for Pete’s sake, give me a break you moronic titwillow!!

If you want to see demeaning, go visit damn near any Indian reservation in the US! Now that’s demeaning! Rampant poverty, alcohol and drug use, squalor, you name it.
Reservations are a prime example of why socialism will never work, here or elsewhere. They’re also an example of why assimilation into US society is so important to the health of our nation.

“There is nothing to be served by dressing up as a racist stereotype,

Uh, when The One ™ went to Africa and wore ‘the garb’ of the locals – he was touted for his ‘sensitivity’ and ‘enlightenment’ and when (fallen) Catholic that she isn’t Pelosi went to Syria and mocked both religions by crossing herself while wearing a headcovering – she was being ‘sensitive’ and ‘enlighten’ not to mention the countless AfricanAmericans who pick and chose what ‘African’ dress/styles/names they want without regard to their real heritage but when a bunch of kindergartners wear construction paper outfits – it is racist!

Instead of touting the celebration that the Pilgrims were not butchering the Natives nor the Natives were not butchering the Pilgrims – but were in tolerant, diverse loving, peace, justice, unifying, humanity sharing food and fortune – today’s liberal has to make it into a racist, slave/master, white conquering everyone hatefest.

America is going to hell in a tolerant (NOT) handbasket.

Claremont parents clash over kindergarten Thanksgiving costumes

Some say having students dress up as pilgrims and Native Americans is ‘demeaning.’ Their opponents say they are elitists injecting politics into a simple children’s celebration.

By Seema Mehta

For decades, Claremont kindergartners have celebrated Thanksgiving by dressing up as pilgrims and Native Americans and sharing a feast. But on Tuesday, when the youngsters meet for their turkey and songs, they won’t be wearing their hand-made bonnets, headdresses and fringed vests…

We’re doomed as a nation.

One native american is offended, one proud.

But of course we can never do anything that might possibly offend anyone, so the pageant will have to go.

“Its always a good thing to think about, critically, how we teach kids, even from very young ages, the message we want them to learn, and the respect for the diversity of the American experiences,” said Jennifer Tilton, an assistant professor of race and ethnic studies at the University of Redlands and a Claremont parent who opposes the costumes.

Where “respect for diversity” of course will mean teaching nothing.
