>teacher starts with the conclusion "how were native Americans woke niggas and Europeans freaky ass wypipo" and works backwards
>students participate with very simple strawmen of both religions - christianity from the 16th century = tyranny and native American religion = DUDE ONE WITH EARTH USE ALL OF THE BUFFALO
>tfw from eagerness to dejection
Can I expect all lit/philosophy classes to be like this in the future

Remove the "how were" in the second line

Yes, remind them that the native americans weren't one with the earth and had almost wiped out the buffalo.
Every human race used to make the most of the entire animal, it's nothing revolutionary or spiritual.

Depends what Uni you are at. I would advise you to drop the class and sit in on some others. Not that your post convinced me this actually happened, seems like complete bullshit actually. Why would an American literature class start by contrasting Native Americans and Europeans?
