The ungrateful left launches a war on Thanksgiving
By Eric Utter
There has been a lot of talk among campus progressives in recent years about the need to "decolonize" Thanksgiving. For example, the University of Oregon held an event titled "Thanks, but No Thanks-giving," the description of which read in part: "Thanksgiving is, foundationally speaking, a celebration of the ongoing genocide against native peoples and cultures across the globe." Sure. Show me a family that doesn't gather around the dining room table with bowed heads, saying, "We thank Thee for the ongoing genocide against native peoples and cultures across the globe. Let us celebrate!"
The Huffington Post recently suggested that Thanksgiving be canceled due to its large carbon footprint.
Ironically, the coddled and entitled, like many students and professors on college campuses, are often the least grateful. Those who seem to have everything are often the least thankful. Rich, spoiled Hollywood types foam at the mouth (when they're not stuffing it with caviar and expensive champagne), railing against Trump and his supporters and a laundry list of supposed "systemic" injustices inherent to the country that has allowed them to get rich pretending to be someone they're not. Meanwhile, those in "flyover country" with comparatively little are often deeply thankful for what they do have, and grateful to be living in the United States of America.
