    Are You SERIOUS???

    I cannot believe that there are so many ignorant people! A Native has MORE rights than anyone. A small boy going to school and being segregated!!! I am so upset as I too have a 4 yrs old grandson with long hair that attends school. Thankfully NOT in Texas! We Natives are a proud people. This is so way out there....I can't believe the hurtful & hatred ways that this child and family is enduring. Shame on you!!!!!!!
