What are you talking about? Since when is a commitment to historical accuracy the same as "constantly looking for ways to point out how evil the white man is"? I guess, since, you know, white people have done some pretty fucked up shit. Maybe this is one of the instances where reality has a noticeable liberal (you'd probably call it socialist) bias.

I'm all about questioning our institutions and ways of doing things, but you have to draw a line at some point. Taking offense to the behavior of 5 year olds around Thanksgiving is a bit of a stretch. I can't help but to think "soccer mom" and "I've got too much time on my hands, so I'm going to inflict my socialist sociology teacher's half-brained and emotionally-driven rants on whoever will listen."

I don't really think you're all that interested in questioning institutions. This is only tangentially about the behavior of 5 year olds. It more has to do with what the people in charge of the 5 year olds compel the 5 year olds to do.
The fact that you think this has anything to do with socialism just makes you even more ridiculous.
Speaking of half-brained emotionally driven rants, check out anyone in this thread who has complained about the school's decision to have the kids not wear costumes.
