Thanksgiving Costumes A Cartoonish Stereotype?

Another example of political correctness run amok

Not satisfied with trashing Christmas, liberals have now expanded their anti-American campaign to include Thanksgiving.



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.

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.

Parents in this quiet university town are sharply divided over what these construction-paper symbols represent: A simple child's depiction of the traditional (if not wholly accurate) tale of two factions setting aside their differences to give thanks over a shared meal? Or a cartoonish stereotype that would never be allowed of other racial, ethnic or religious groups?

The costumes are inaccurate on the pilgrim side. Possibly the indian side too. (Not familiar with how they dressed).

How on earth can celebrating unity be a bad thing?
