Pocahontas

[Floyd Pentlin <fpentlin@GARFIELD.LEESUMMIT.K12.MO.US>]

As a former historian, I am aware of the inaccuracy of the movie as
portrayed by Disney, and we need to educate students (and faculty?) to
the true story, but I am dismayed to read the number of people who are
willing to condem the movie without having seen it.

This makes me very uncomfortable when we live in an environment where
frequent condemnation of material in libraries and school media centers
by interest groups makes components of our collections at risk.  From
these groups, we ask that they at least read (view) the item under
discussion.

Just my $.02.
