I was a French major from high school to college (before changing to Japanese...but I digress). The one thing that helped me learn the language was watching Asterik. I didn't take it as historical accuracy but for grammar and so forth. That cartoon was extremely helpful in my learning.
I am also Native American (Cheyenne to be exact). I find both Peter Pan and Pocahontas (both Disney films) to be very demeaning. Especially Peter Pan. I do not demand from any school or library to remove them. Stupid people are just that...stupid people and they will never learn any different. However, will these "good minded" Christian people remove them from the library? I think not. Will they remove Song of the South? I think not. Stupid and ignorant people only believe that they are doing the right thing. When the truth of the matter is that they are only trying to keep from explaining to their children what is wrong or right. They are trying to avoid the job that they set themselves up for...being parents. They are rely too much on the tv, xbox, and other people to "babysit" their children instead of sitting them down and say look at this and tell me what is wrong with it? Be parents not idots. Be involved in your kids life. Don't smother.
It is a wonder how we have all survived our childhood by climbing trees, swimming in creeks next to farmland, camping outdoors, sharing ice cream with a friend, and petting stray cats. Amazing! |
