Happy Thanksgiving!

In light of spending this year's Thanksgiving abroad, in a new and very different culture from the one in which I was raised, I was reminded of an article that was printed a few years ago in the Tufts Daily.

The following piece, published the Monday before Thanksgiving, was written in response to a supposed 'Thanksgiving' edition of the university's conservative publication, The Primary Source, in which Editor in Chief, Nicholas Boyd, vehemently attacked the ideas of both tolerance and multiculturalism as undermining traditional American values.

For those of you who have forgotten what traditional American values are, or perhaps would like a friendly reminder as one of the many reasons why our nation is so great, please enjoy the attached article! Whether or not you find the ranting commentary of a displaced college sophomore worthwhile, I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving, and be glad wherever you are. . .cause it's probably not as weird as Korea!
