YOUNG AMERICANS SPEAK ON GENOCIDE WHEN ASKED WHAT KIDS SHOULD BE TAUGHT ABOUT THANKSGIVING

Harsh lesson: This woman said young children should learn about the extermination of indigenous peoples at the hands of European settlers for the purpose of taking over their lands

Parents across the U.S. have always used Thanksgiving as a teachable moment to educate their children about the importance of family values and gratitude, but some Americans believe what kids should really be learning is how Europeans slaughtered Native-Americans for their land.
A series of man-on-the-street interviews conducted by the conservative group Revealing Politics have revealed that left-leaning 20-somethings believe that American schools are not teaching students the ugly truth about Thanksgiving.
In a video capturing the interviews, one man says that children in kindergartens 'need to know about the racism and the violence that went on,' referring to the times of the first Thanksgiving celebration of 1621 that brought together the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe.

Loaded question: The conservative group Revealing Politics asked several people what they think kids in kindergarten should be taught about Thanksgiving, which has elicited some controversial responses

Another woman said schools should teach kindergarteners that Thanksgiving is 'totally meaningless' and 'we massacred millions and millions of Native Americans.'

A similar sentiment was expressed by a third interviewee who said: 'Well, our nation was founded on slavery, genocide, murder, theft and mass injustice and it continues to this day.'

Those people who did not advocate introducing the ideas of mass slaughter of indigenous peoples by colonizers to pre-schoolers expressed shocking indifference toward the beloved holiday.

'Personally, I don’t really give a s*** about Thanksgiving,' one responder sporting dreadlocks said, while another insisted that the country should just scrap the annual celebration entirely.



Unpatriotic: This interviewee said he doesn't care about the holiday that has been celebrated in the U.S. since 1621

The video’s producerm Ben Howe, a contributors to the pro-Republican site RedState and Revealing Politics creative director, told TheBlaze on Wednesday that the responders in the video displayed ‘repulsive anti-Americanism.’ ‘No nation on earth is blameless. No people are blameless,’ he added. ‘Ideally something like Thanksgiving is an opportunity for us to share in our common humanity not our common feelings of guilt. 
‘But given that it is a uniquely American holiday, I guess these people just can’t pass up the opportunity to trash her [America].’
Howe admitted that while the history of the U.S. is filled with ‘moral failings’ and ‘scars,’ Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time of coming together rather than casting blame on one another for past mistakes.
