1. Day 2 Rebellion (bring colors tmw)
Individual Assignment:
1. If a law doesn’t makes sense to you, should you break it? Use an
example
2. Page 88, would Hector St. John Crevecoeur see you as an American?
Explain.

2. Yesterday’s Redskins letters
• Video clip
• I graded based on the history, not your opinion
• Looking for short summaries of events
• Who, what, when, where and why?
• Its ok to disagree with what appears to be my
opinion, just back it up with historical examples.

3. Don’t change
I personally believe that these (the name changers)
people for why this name should be changed and
can see from their view why they believe this. But
on the other hand, it is just a name and maybe
shouldn’t be taken personally. So honestly I don’t
care whether this name is changed but it probably
would be a smart move.

4. Don’t change
The name shouldn't be changed because that is like
trying to erase what Americans did. The name
Redskins is only offensive to those that aren’t
Native American. They have heard the name for
81 years and shouldn’t change now. It should be
up to the owner whether or not the name changes
not the politicians.

5. Don’t change
I believe they should just keep their name. It would
be too much of a hassle to change the name, logo,
merchandise. I don’t understand why people that
are not Native Americans even have to argue with
this. The team should be proud and embrace who
they are.

6. Change
Commissioner you should suggested a change for the
peace of mind of these people who feel ridiculed or
demeaned. You should set a worthy example.

7. Change
All of these examples clearly show how the
Americans treated the Native Americans wrong in
so many different ways. How would Americans
respond to team names such as “whiteskins” or
“blackskins”. The fact that the Indians were treated
unfairly only emphasizes the offensiveness.
