Middle school girls hoops player benched for a game for saying ‘I love you’ in native

[shadowstalker]

A unique language controversy has led to a wide ranging apology from the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay after a middle school girls basketball player at Shawano (Wisc.) Sacred Heart School was reprimanded in class and kept out of one of her team's games because she told her friends "I love you," in the tongue of her family's Native American tribe.

I feel like we just got in the way back machine to prior century.

Pass the hemlock. I'll drink it.

Sounds like Rick Santorum supporters. It's a dumb and dumber tag team.

I reported this when it happened through a language group elsewhere several weeks back. There was some heated comments thrown towards the [English] education system in the USA & other.
This xenophobia attitude is far more common than folk are aware of & most folk will be shocked that it goes on right under their very noses on a daily bases, & a good number are also guilty of such hatred without realising it (?).

At least now, folk are not going to be bullied any more by the system & will not remain silent. The fightback against the [English] education system with its propaganda & hatred is well under way across the globe via the courts & its back room / side / sub committees.
This hatred will not be tolerated towards the indigenous people where ever they come from any more.

Note:
Makes me wonder where is the love 'n' light brigade & why are they not helping to stop this hatred, unless ~
