I agree, it’s the context. History, warts and all, should be taught. But


when the first T’giving proclamation was given, in Virginia, it was expressing thanks for a safe voyage. Not for ‘Sweet, now we have people to master and abuse, we’re some lucky sons of bitches!’.

Let people give thanks for a holiday, spend time with family, etc without making a big damn deal. It’s not hiding anything, but some folks can’t take a break from being negative it seems. Still a lot to be thankful for today.
