Educators on the Fort Apache Reservation have repeatedly condemned teens for participating in a sacred dance. It follows a pattern of Christian discipline begun more than a century ago
I don’t care if they participated in a satanic ritual, Christian mass or if they summoned Yog-Sothoth, that has nothing to do with school, there should be no way for people to be expelled for something like that. And to top it off, it was a fucking dance ceremony.
At the time, her private school’s teachers were mostly white people who would often discuss the satanic nature of Apache traditions
I would agree, but it also wasn’t a public school. Parochial schools in some places can be lax on the “Monday through Friday” type of school and focus on the Sunday School part.

Jesus fucking Christ…
I’m guessing Apache traditions predated Europeans importing the idea of Satan.

WTF is a Lutheran school doing on a reservation to begin with? Why would any Native American even want to send their kids to it?
After reading the article and thinking about it more, I have another question:
Isn’t it time to start considering missionary work to be a hate crime?
Sick Yog-Sothoth reference.
