The teacher tells everyone to do an art project about Pilgrims. Molly gets the crazy idea that perhaps Americans’ understanding of this holiday is facile, and that maybe by pointing out the timeless, universal themes of the true Thanksgiving story, it might serve as an opportunity to build understanding with her classmates. Nope! The resulting fallout from this act of initiative will haunt her for the rest of her life and torpedo any chance of future academic success, serving as a warning to all other students that any nail who sticks out will be pounded down with prejudice. Happy Thanksgiving!
