I have zero interest in determining what actually happened or which of these characters is or isn't the worst person in history. Clearly we can only helplessly interpret what we think happened based on our own politics / ideals / cultural norms, etc. even with 2 hours of video evidence.

Instead, what's concerning to me is that teenage boys are being raised to think that taking a field trip to protest women's rights is a swell thing to do in 2019. I mean we know it's out there somewhere but it's certainly different to see that energy in the raw like that.

Those boys don't need to go to the white house to have tangerine grandpa Simpson shout some gibberish at them, or get puffball questions from Fox News hosts. In the video they act like the indigenous fellow literally walked out of history into real life and it occurred to me that these sheltered kids from a religious all-boys school in the deep south may have actually never seen a native person or native imagery except maybe in cartoons and football logos. (It turns out the state of Kentucky has an aboriginal population of only 9500 out of 4.4 million people. Alberta on the other hand has 250,000 out of just under 4 million and indigenous imagery is woven into our culture).

Getting served stale berders from chief MAGA will only reinforce their (likely) narrow world views. What those boys need is to go to a powwow, or billet an international student, read a smuggled copy of On The Origin Of Species, or go to college in NYC and maybe have a gay roommate. Instead of doxxing and shaming these kids or painting them as innocents unfairly maligned, the world should reach out to these kids and show them some s**t; let them see there is more out there than red hats and walls.
