What did the, I’m sure “tenured” professor say to the students question? I bet some lame answer...
Some pablum about how the indians would walk away from the tribe when they knew they were a burden....and tried to use a rationale, well it’s good enough for the indians.
The idiot probably had tenure then and that was more than a decade ago. Every now and then he puts in a letter to the editor and proves he’s just as stupid as he was back then, or what my grandfather would call...an “educated idiot”.
