Indians and Pilgrims at School

All of the kids in Liam's class were required to dress as Pilgrims and Indians. The teacher sent home a note specifying which to dress as. Liam was supposed to be a pilgrim but I requested that he be allowed to be an Indian.

When we got to the school Michael said all the Indians had something in common. I nievely said, "a feather", to which Michael replied, "nope, there's something else." Sure as shit, I walk in the room and all the black children were dressed as Indians and all the white children were dressed as Pilgrims. wow. WTF???

As a sidenote, all the Black kids were seated at the 2 tables closest to the door. sigh.

We will be touring the Catholic School at our church very soon.

UPDATE (11/2008): We have been in FREEEEE public school since July and LOVE IT!
