Native American Boy Pulled From Class Over Mohawk Hairstyle

Liberal logic

"conformity at school is a bad thing


unless you bring your bible to school, wear a religious item, mention God, or otherwise let the world know you are a Christian, THAT is distracting to other students"

fucking idiots.

Native Americans were and are real - a proven fact. That religious cult bullshit you mentioned is pure fantasy.

LOL so what? Wiccans are made up to, they have a right to their bullshit beliefs.

Oh by the your "native Americans" worshipped trees and shit, does that disqualify them from having rights?

idiot.

I worshiped my old Ford pickup - but I didn't start a religious cult about it.

what the fuck are you talking about?

You're seriously saying " I think Christianity is a cult, so they don't have the same rights as other people?" Yes that's exactly what you are saying.

What a piece of shit.

Christianity is no more credible than Scientology. They are all cults for gullible minds.

Yes there is. It isn't up to you to make up definitions to suite your political agenda or ignore definitions that are used by the general public, scholars, historians and other educated and non educated people. That authority is given to the folks who produce a product called dictionaries. They are the governing entities that determine the validity of words and terms and define them. Your silly political agenda to redefine the meaning a word or term means absolutely nothing outside of your own head.

No there isn't. they migrated here. Fact. The rest of your gibberish is just that, gibberish

No it isn't. Right wingers like you have a pattern of adjusting definitions when you are loosing arguments. People have chosen to refer to indigenous natives to the Americas when Europeans began settling the two continents, at first as Indians and later as native Americans. It means they are derived from the indigenous persons who were indigenous at the time the Europeans arrived. It means persons whose ancestors lived hear before the Europeans arrived.
You ain't know scholar so stop pretending to be one. Use a dictionary.

"people have chosen to refer to indigenous natives"....

Who made that definition? They are not native, nobody is, fact jack.

You go ahead and listen to the voices in your head and make up your own definitions and meanings for words.

You keep on believing they didn't migrate here. Fool

Neither I nor anyone else has denied that native American ancestors migrated here. You are just changing the jest of the debate because you know you have lost the argument and are attempting to save face. The argument you put forward was that there was no such thing as native Americans because native Americans had migrated here. No one contested the migration part. Your typical right wing tactic of ignoring accepted definitions and redefining words and terms is what was being argued.

"To ostracize him like that -- that's stuff from the '50s."

A young Native American student in Utah is back in class after school staff sent him to the office claiming his Mohawk hairstyle violated school policy.

“They wanted Kobe to come home until we cut his hair,” Gary Sanden, the father of 7-year-old Jakobe Sanden, told the Salt Lake Tribune. “That’s who he is. That’s part of his culture.”

Gary Sanden is a member of the Seneca Nation and his wife, Teyawwna Sanden, is a member of the Kaibab Band of Paiutes Indians, Fox 13 reported.

Their son was kicked out of his second-grade class at Arrowhead Elementary School in the city of Santa Clara on Monday after showing up sporting the haircut he got the previous Friday. Administrators called Jakobe's parents to tell them the boy's hairstyle violated school policy and he needed to change it, Gary Sanden told The Washington Post.

The school’s online handbook does not mention any specific hairstyles, The Post pointed out, but simply states that “extremes in body piercings, hair styles and hair colors may be considered a distraction or disruption.”

“We had the students that weren’t used to it,” Arrowhead Principal Susan Harrah told Fox 13. “They had called that out. So the teacher brought the student to my attention.”

School officials initially asked Teyawwna Sanden to pick up her son and change his hair, Gary Sanden told news station WFAA. Both parents offered to bring in their tribal membership cards to prove their heritage, but the school said they needed documentation from a tribal leader.

The couple got Seneca Nation Councillor William Canella to write to the superintendent.

“It is common for Seneca boys to wear a Mohawk because after years of discrimination and oppression, they are proud to share who they are," Canella wrote.

When I was in school, a lot of boys wore Mohawks - including whites. This young man has every right to express his proud heritage.

Just think your fellow liberals will allow a boy that thinks he is a girl. To use the girls locker room, but your guy gotta cut his hair. Karma is a bitch lol!

Hair is important to Native Americans.

The Truth About Hair and Why Indians Would Keep Their Hair Long -- Sott.net

Hey I'm actually on your side on this, but your fellow liberals has tried to make society a bunch of wussies. Liberals get offended about anything.

Both sides get offended by lots of shit - but I see the white Christian NaziCons doing most of the whining.

I don't get offended, but the way liberals are trying to make all sexual perversions normal. Makes me feel sorry for all children being raised to think about sex at 4 instead of playing and having fun.

So-called "sexual perversions" are nothing new. Has always been with us. Liberals just believe that they should enjoy the same rights as everyone else.

 

[HenryBHough]

Most schools are run by liberals so why is anyone surprised that they act like control freaks?

So you propose a litmus test for having rights.

"believe as I believe or have no rights"

you're a moron.

Litmus test? Yes, I propose one for Christianity. I'd like to see some "credible" proof of that supernatural bullshit. Got any? Noah's Ark is one of my favorite fairy tales.

I don't care if you believe or not Lakhota, that's your own choice. I DO care that you want to take rights away from Christians.

That's pathetic man.

I just want freedom FROM religion. I want religious whackos to stop trying to legislate how I live my life. I also want religious freeloaders to start paying taxes. The founding fathers gave us a secular government and a Godless Constitution - which the religious right keeps trying to undermine. Just imagine a theocracy run by cult lunatics like Mike Huckabee.

Atheism isn't part of our people's heritage. We've always been a deeply religious people. My Catholic heritage goes back several centuries, my ancestors converted by French settlers. Atheism is something invented by whites and is unbecoming of a NA.

Bullshit. Christianity was used as a weapon to destroy Native America. Atheism has always existed - even when there was no name for it.

Protestants. Catholics were different and more peacefully coincided with us. Why do you think Canada doesn't have a Trail of Tears? My people (Blackfeet) got along great with the French Canadians who were Catholic.

Manifest Destiny was Protestant....just one of many examples of what pushy assholes they were.

 

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

Native Americans were and are real - a proven fact. That religious cult bullshit you mentioned is pure fantasy stemming from one book of fairy tales.

Except there are no "native" Americans, everyone migrated here from somewhere

Except we got here about 5000 years before you.

Regardless there is no such thing as native American

By that logic, do you refer to yourself as a Mesopotamian?

No, I'm an AMERICAN. My heritage plays no part in that.

To paraphrase Jefferson "if you're an anything - hyphenated American, you aren't an American at all"

You're the one claiming to be more Indian than me. Apparently it mattered to you a few minutes ago.

 

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

I think it's stupid, if the kid wants a haircut like that he should be able to but if it is against the school dress code he should abide by the rule. I mean liberals are all about rules, right?

The school doesn't have a dress code that prohibits it.
That's (one of) the stupid part(s). It's just authority being authority for the sake of authority.

Government workers do that often.

You poor dumbass. Although the Declaration of Independence is a "founding" document - it is not a "governing" document - and our laws are not based on it. It is not a legal document.

BUT "CREATOR" is in the Declaration, thereby PROVING America was FOUNDED as a CHRISTIAN Country!...Especially since he is the "supernatural Christian Sky Daddy!"

 

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

Lakhota could not be more pissed that Christians were involved in forming this nation.

Lakhota, bro. This is the way of history, thus has been forever. The strong take from the weak. If you want to be mad at someone , be mad at your Native Central Asian ancestors for being too weak to defend their home.

LULZ "native Americans" have a lot in common with the common house cat. "Hey here's something shiny", "oooooooooooh we um trade you Manhattan" and now "we have shiny casino"

When has Congress passed any laws based on the Declaration and when has SCOTUS ruled on any cases based on the Declaration?
