Don’t believe everything you see

This evening we watched a Hercule Perot DVD, “The Big Four”.  It is about illusion and countering illusion.

After we watched the video, I checked my email.  One messages was from The Atlantic giving a link to “Stop Trusting Viral Video” by Ian Bogost (https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/01/viral-clash-students-and-native-americans-explained/580906/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=atlantic-daily-newsletter&utm_content=20190121&silverid-ref=NTExMzk2MjAyNDU4S0).

It is about the supposed clash between a Catholic high school student mocking a Native American elder beating a drum.  Even after reading the story, I am uncertain about the details, but they are not as simple as many news stories have asserted.

I’ll let you be your own judge of what really happened.
