Ironically (or maybe not-so-much), I think that that those opposed to the happy re-enactment of the Thanksgiving celebration would be all for a brutal, bloody realistic re-enactment of Wounded Knee by five year olds. Because what is most important is that pre-school plays be historically accurate and remind us all how evil the "white man" is.
