For many years, kindergartners at Claremont Elementary in Southern CA have celebrated Thanksgiving by dressing up as pilgrims and Native Americans and sharing a feast. But on Tuesday, when the kids meet for their turkey and songs, they won’t be wearing their hand-made bonnets, headdresses and fringed vests due to political correctness run amok.

Michelle Raheja, a university professor and mother of a kindergartner at Condit Elementary School, wrote to her daughter’s teacher. “I’m sure you can appreciate the inappropriateness of asking children to dress up like slaves (and kind slave masters), or Jews (and friendly Nazis), or members of any other racial minority group who has struggled in our nation’s history.”

The absurd opinions expressed by Raheja, who like so many of us (myself include) has some indian blood in her DNA, have caused the timid school board to cave in to her demands to ban these costumes at the school.

Needless to say this nonsense has struck a chord with parents who are fed up with people pushing their political correctness agendas down the throats of others at the expense of children and long standing traditions in our country.
