Following protests from offended parents, district officials have told kindergarteners from two schools that they cannot wear construction-paper Pilgrim and Native American costumes to their Thanksgiving festivities.

Over the past four decades, children at the Condit and Mountain View elementary schools in Claremont, Calif., have alternated visiting each other to share a Thanksgiving feast and play day. The visitors dresses as Native Americans, the host class as Pilgrims.

After a letter from an angered parent and a heated school board meeting, however, the costumes are no longer allowed.

It is sad that public schools canot even teach history if it offends someome.

If you want to know what the current "public policy" is this is one place to find out part of it. I wont say that it is the full basket so to speak, but it does show a good part of it.

Banned after just one upset parent?

Does that mean that it can be unbanned after just two parents get upset that such activity was banned? Sure seems like it should work that way if this is how they're deciding what they can and cannot do.

That's California for ya.

In reality, this event is celebrating the one time in American history when Americans and Native Americans were able to live in perfect harmony. It's actually quite the opposite of what that lady tried to make it out to be. Even in a politically correct society, this should be considered entirely appropriate.

Bartimaeus said, "pray hard and squeeze the trigger gently". I am having a t-shirt made right now with that on it!

Halloween costumes offends a lot of people. Are they going to ban those? What if Santa Clause offends me? (We work hard all year round to provide for our families in the form of gifts around Christmas and some fictitious character gets all the credit?!) Can I go to the public schools and get him banned too?
