Indian identity in American Schools
always good to read something by you alex, but i think you are making a fundamental mistake. the term "e pluribus unum" doesn't really ratify/promote pluralism, and in actuality is more of a 'exclusionist' motto. essentially it is saying "there are many, but out of that came one"...like there were many polytheistic gods but out of that came one jehovah. perhaps i am being a bit cynical and you are in fact actually right, but that is how i have always taken that motto. there has never been anything pluralistic about america.
