Yes, and it was awful, unbalanced. The teacher droned on and on about the Trail of Tears and Tonto for months before spending another huge block of time on JFK and watching the Zapruder film endlessly etc...

I actually have a lot of respect for some native cultures and teach my kids the same. My daughter does quill work and used to wish she was native (which of course she is). We love us some "Dream Keepers."

That said, we are not big on one sided or revisionist history. I also love Allan Eckert's books like "The Frontiersmen." I have read far too many first hand accounts of atrocities on both sides to have sympathy for either. Sure I have empathy for both and can call good good, and bad bad, but I cannot pick teams in a losing game.

In Philadelphia a black man approached me once and said that he wanted to hang me. I asked why, and he stated "that was what yall did to us." I informed him that I had never hung anybody and in fact he had never been hung and we went on with life.
