PROTECT INDIGENOUS CULTURE

The Issue

Classical charter schools of America policy surrounding hair length is being enforced against Native American Students.

Native American families were told by school administrations that their son’s long hair, worn by Native Americans for thousands of years was “faddish” and must be cut.

This is a violation of state and federally protected civil rights as well as being disrespectful to Native American cultural practices and beliefs. Hair length DOES NOT impact one’s ability to learn. 

Please sign this petition to support these boys and justice for indigenous culture!
