An appeals court says an anti-discrimination lawsuit involving Native American hair can go to trial in New Mexico
SANTA FE, N.M. — — An appeals court ruling has revived an anti-discrimination lawsuit accusing an Albuquerque teacher of cutting off one Native American girl's hair and asking another if she was dressed as a “bloody Indian” during class on Halloween.
The appellate ruling validates that all “students must feel safe at school and confident that their culture, history, and personal dignity are valued and respected by the public schools they attend,” Howard said in a statement. Albuquerque Public Schools spokeswoman Monica Armenta said the district is considering options to appeal.
The suit says Eastin also asked another student, plaintiff McKenzie Johnson, 16, if she was dressed as a “bloody Indian.” Johnson's mother later told reporters her daughter was dressed for Halloween as Little Red Riding Hood, with a red paw mark on her face. Johnson, who is Navajo, said she no longer felt welcome at school.
