doubt she really wanted to go there, some other group like ACLU used her for it.

I’m pretty sure the tribe was under the impression they’d be able to attend the new school since that was the agreement for the votes. Typical Indian giver shit. Maybe there was help with the case, but I believe it was the tribe’s idea to seek help.

shouldn't want to go to white man's schools anyway. And that was forced with assimilation in the past anyway, then they were tricked into going against that. The answer is to fix up your own schools.

Maybe they found out there wasn’t any raping going on at the white schools.

damn well maybe but then the answer is to get rid of the raping at your own schools

You seem to know who created the school system, maybe this is the first time you’ve heard this, but the whites haven’t always been as receptive to hearing a brown person say bad things about a fellow white. Sometimes, it’s crazy I know, they would actually punish the browns for even suggesting a white did something wrong! So maybe, a brown committing a crime to punish a very bad white would bring trouble to the brown community.

The point is, don’t force us into sub-par educational facilities to denounce our culture and assimilate to be real Americans if you don’t want us to use your real American system to elevate ourselves and hold you to your word.

yeah CRT, I know, dems just got demolished because of it

brown people actually have it easier now cuz of quotas and affirmative action, so stop complaining. We need to repeal those so we can go back to equality.

I’m not talking about now, I’m talking about the case and the time period. The town told the tribe their children could go to the new school, they were denied entry, so they sued. The end. We wouldn’t even have known that it was possible to hold Indian givers to their word if it wasn’t for education received from the whites on how “their” system works. We were forced to assimilate, so it’s our system too now, much to your chagrin.

Yeah also interesting you'd need to go back 100 years to find something that is even slightly racist, which is outside forces getting a poor girl to attend a school outside of her school district. The long bus rides are child abuse too in some ways.

My post was on the case because of Indian giving. Yeah, it’s a racist practice, but the case is about accountability. For someone who has a post up on race versus class, you’re not seeing how in this case, the school tried to exclude themselves from honoring a verbal contract with the people.
