Petition: Call for an Investigation into School Who Told Native American Boy to Cut His Hair or Be Suspended

Over the summer, a Kansas boy had a beautiful experience that would wonderfully impact and inspire him. The 8-year-old attended a youth event of the Wyandotte Nation, to which he belongs. After witnessing the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of his ancestry, he decided to grow his hair long to honor and emulate those traditions.

But shockingly, when the boy returned to his Kansas school in August, he was callously told that he had to cut his hair or be suspended from the school.

Please sign this petition to demand a public apology and an investigation into this injustice!
