Title: Beware of racism
Review: I bought this video to show to my third graders, but after previewing it, I have decided it is very inappropriate. Although this video offers an interesting portrayal of the Mayflower voyage, some of the information is inaccurate. Of great concern is its treatment of Native Americans. Not only are the drawings stereotypically buffoonish, but the way they made them speak sounded like "Tonto" from the Lone Ranger. The Pilgrims even called them "Red." Yikes! The songs are very old-fashioned and boring, and are not really about the Mayflower; the lyrics are mostly about some love affair that is being kindled between two of the Pilgrims.
