Actually, he violated nothing.
If he violated nothing then why are his parents seeking an exception for his hairdo?
Exception to what? His Mohawk did not violate school policy - it only violated perceptions of others.
School administrators said his hairdo violated school policy:
"Administrators called Jakobe's parents to tell them the boy's hairstyle violated school policy and he needed to change it"
Parents whined and "offered to bring in their tribal membership cards to prove their heritage, but the school said they needed documentation from a tribal leader." They want the school to make an exception for their kid because "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".
If school policy says hairdo falls outside of it, then it does, kid must follow school rules. Wanting an exception because "discrimination!" is nonsense and should not be made.
It shouldn't be a criterion what the fuck his heritage is or isn't. That's irrelevant.
What the school's trying to do is suppress individuality. And individuality has no ethnicity.
Also, I GUARANTEE that if this had a been a Christian child removed because he wore a cross to school Lakhota would be celebrating the victory.
