CARY, N.C. — A Wake County parent is trying to get a video about the Native American perspective of Thanksgiving banned from schools because she claims it’s filled with lies and is racist to white people.
The YouTube video from Cut.com shows Native Americans using words like “horror beyond measure,” “massacre,” “slaughtered,” “romanticism” and “lies” to describe what thoughts they associate with Thanksgiving.
