So private institution and all that.

That said, there are plenty of college students who's families are wealthy and conservative.

Where do they donate/send their kids?

I would love to have that. I'd find somewhere in the house to display it.

My Dutch/German ancestor was killed in an Indian raid on the settlement by the Indians. Do I get back his scalp?

phew...glad they let us know which was the Puritan and which was the Native American. I may not have figured that one out.

And how come nobody's all upset about the Native American, left, pointing his bow at the Puritan, right? Maybe the Purita, right, was just defending himself from the Native American, left.

Are they going to pretend that their Puritan ancestors didn't fight a savage war of annihilation against the Indians?

It's about time. As a decedent of the early European settlers of this great country, I'm offended by such depictions that lead the viewer to think that the "natives" were innocent victims of the white man. There's a reason why they were called "savages".

Looks to me like the settler feared for his life. Clear case of self defense.
