Isn't it somewhat funny how a simple beard issue, can turn into a debate bringing out all types of issues, and true feelings.
The statement "Keep in mind that this is our country not theirs" can open a door of all types finger pointing. One would ask just who's country is this really? Yes we live in the greatest country in the World but as a History Teacher you surely know the facts on just how this came about - Who was the foreignor than? Was the so called Resorvations nothing more than a 1800 form of a Concentration Camp - some might say they were savage and need pinned up - "Corner a snake and he bits back" - Mexico - are they the Mexican people who come over really illegal? or did sometime back someone simply just move their border. Also the Japenese durning WWII, African American's, the list could go on and on. On how we in America ourselves has treated people while building this great nation.

I don't want to get into great detail however, when we make statements see what doors you can open for so many other things.
