The Howard Zinn-ification of American history has now been fully embraced by America’s institutions.
It’s not just on college and university campuses where the late Marxist professor’s anti-American history is popular.
An anonymous tip to The Daily Signal on Monday revealed that a video depicting the Pilgrims as one-dimensional oppressors was shown to students at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland, before Thanksgiving.
The Daily Signal reached out to Walt Whitman High School for comment, but there was no response.
Bethesda, an unincorporated area of Montgomery County, is a suburb of Washington and one of the wealthiest places in the United States. Whitman High is part of Montgomery County Public Schools.
D.C. Public Schools did something similar, issuing a statement to students on how to “decolonize” their Thanksgiving and to acknowledge stolen land at their holiday dinners.
The video shown to Whitman High students was narrated by activist and former United Nations delegate Larissa FastHorse, whose Thanksgiving message was that “we are all complicit in standing on stolen land.”
Almost every culture existing today occupies the land a previous culture occupied, and in most cases, they evicted, assimilated or killed the previous occupiers of the land. Even the Eskimos, call them Inuit if you want, who live in the most gawdawful place currently occupied by mankind out side of Antartcia, which doesn't really count, displaced the Dorset culture for their spot. I presume they were being pushed out by someone else tougher. That's just history. Learn to deal with it.
