Kansas school forces 8-year-old Native American student to cut hair

Yeah. This part made me cringe too

because we also know how highly Native American people’s hair could be of value to big city venues. So we wonder if it was stolen for the black market used for wigs and extensions found popular in inner city fashions?”

“Inner city fashions.” So “his hair was stolen for Black people to use as a wig.” Why go there?! His hair was cut probably because of racism. Someone either unaware of or hostile to the cultural and religious significance of his hair. Do you really need to add a dash of your own racism on top of that?
