and VERY happy to hear they canceled it. Was very disgusted to hear about the invitation and had i had kids in school there, would have pulled that plug too. I am from CA and not a bit adverse to opposing points of view, but not from this kind of character -- would not give him the validating stamp of a decent university.

Native Americans
My ancestors arrived just about in time to fight in the Revolutionary War. My great-grandfather died fighting in the Civil War. Yes, he fought for the South. He was there standing up for what he believed in. Others were there in WWI and WWII. Husband #1 a Marine Medic in Korea and husband #2 in Viet Nam. A nephew headed for Afghanistan in September. Husband #2's grandmother was a Polish immigrant. She learned English and that is what was spoken in her home. He only knows a few Polish words and I guess they are the ones she used when she was plenty angry.
Never once have I heard a Native American complain. We just beat them in to submission. I find the Trail of Tears a whole lot more heart-wrenching than the plight of the Mexican citizens.
We, a nation of LEGAL immigrants, had better start standing up for something or we are definitely going to FALL....hard.
Thank you, Arizona Native
The facts speak for themselves, but there are too many people who refuse to see that.
