Beading and feather removed from Utah graduation

Beading and feather removed from Utah graduation

[@purfctwmn]

Absolutely ridiculous. It was beautiful and she should have been able to wear her cap!

[@v.duskren8819]

What the hell is the problem? When I graduated we all decorated our caps, our gowns, everything.

[@pickingwilddaisies945]

Congratulations to this young lady for graduating. So sorry they did that to you, hopefully your story can help others

[@cdcdogs4961]

Yes, let’s hear from the principal next, I would love to hear his/her explanation. Don’t sweep this under the rug!

[@Soo_Blessed]

Well America is proud of Native Americans know that

[@elakay4397]

My gosh...what difference does it make to the principle.? Let her wear it. The school said it was ok. The principal is the one that had a problem with it. I thought it looked cool.

[@franciscagarcia6929]

That was not right. I think there is a communication problem with the principle and teachers the principle should have emailed the teachers that he had approved the graduation cap. Because they asked if it would be permissible. And it was given. This is supposed to be a celebration of an accomplishment of this young Lady who well deserved this special day. I feel it was unprofessional of these supposed to be professional teachers. You can't fight ignorance.

[@shekharmoona544]

These schools are ridiculous.

[@cdcdogs4961]

This is discrimination at its finest! Pathetic small minded people! I’m not native but I’m really proud of their heritage! Grow up people... really. 🤨

[@user-jx9qo9lf3t]

As a old white guy I apologize for your treatment and congratulate you on your achievement. WELL DONE ❗👍

[@eastonroberts8160]

Why would you have to apologize you didn't do it

[@allaboutroofing2]

What are you apologizing for? This thinking is exactly what is wrong with society. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for because you are white unless you specifically did something wrong. Appears the MSM brainwashing is working to make you feel ashamed for the color you were born. Give me a break dude.

[@ofsoundmind143]

Love our First Nations people and their culture. I wish I had traditions to pass on from my ancestors and a deep connection to and respect of our Mother as they do. Sad to see them still treated so badly by the Machine.

[@thetourminator]

IMO, that is straight up discrimination. This particular issue is not big enough for a lawsuit...but something should be done for sure.....make that idiot school accountable for such blatant discrimination.

[@65Wildkat]

That school should be over hauled! Show your Pride young one! We are proud of you! 🌹

[@meticulous_pickulous30]

So sorry for this young lady. She had every right to honor her heritage.

[@XxMetalGorxX]

should of left it on, what are they going to do, put their hands on you and drag you out lmao stand your ground

[@cmoorejack]

They should have interviewed the principal..and was he not at the graduation? However I can see how things can get out of hand with decorations expressing heritage..and individualism. It could turn out to be about what you are wearing and not what you are accomplishing.

[@maybebaby1112]

Congratulations to this young lady and this school needs to be sued

[@adoseofcare]

That's ridiculous. What gives that teacher the right to tell that girl what she can wear? Are we all supposed to be boring identical drones?

[@yourturn777]

yes. yes we are.😠

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

Totally unacceptable that she was not allowed to decorate her cap.

[@stayc6285]

No, you can't wear your decorated cap, but you can marry a child. 🙄 You look beautiful. You did an amazing job on your cap & I'm proud of you for speaking up.

[@vjs4539]

What??

[@lalochucmillan]

Why is this News?

[@Dgafsranger]

Exactly this shouldn't be news at all

[@Dgafsranger]

@@user-no5ho1xc9e yes they do but this has nothing to do with indigenous lives its a single person who happens to be indigenous there is a major difference personally I believe it is a formal ceremony and no alterations should be made but at the same time if I was the teacher or principal I wouldn't have made an issue of it and would have let it happen because I don't believe in forcing my views on other people I might state it and let them make their own informed decisions

[@auntjenifer7774]

I think it maybe fuel to the fire, you know the race war agenda the mainstream media is subliminally pushing !?

[@carrieanncancino5118]

Why are you questioning this as not news? She is native and should be able to keep her cap as she wanted. She is proud to be NATIVE and should be because others are proud of her as well. This should be all over news. Congratulations sweetheart. You worked your butt off and deserve to graduate with your friends.

[@Lizard202]

Yes, why are you questioning this? She is a Victim in all this. Sure they have no proof she was an acception to the rule. Does not matter she's a Victim we should have a law...don't you get it. We must not question victims!

[@josephsmellyunderwearsmith2030]

Utah = corona graduations

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

That is BS! I can see really messing the cap up, like I've seen at college graduations, but come on! This is HER heritage and she's proud of it. If the school says yes, then changes their mind and decides " no we can't have that " then make that clear BEFORE the student goes through with getting the cap looking presentable. She was a great example of how to accept the bad news. Good luck, my lady, in your life. I salute you. 🦅🤦‍♂️

[@blueeyebeauty6364]

The beading and feather enhanced the school colors. It was beautiful and they should have allowed her to wear the cap during the ceremony.

[@dontcare9689]

The schools & their excuses for their mistreatment treatment of the American Indians is ridicules. Get over yourself & start treating the Native Americans & others with respect.

[@samed7757]

Why can't they decorate their caps?! Ridiculous!

[@dodgeguyz]

Considering we are on their ground, she should be “allowed” (sick) to wear what she wanted! Most Americans with any kind of power, will flex them at the worst possible time!

[@lukedaron8838]

Residential schools still going strong.

It's what a bunch of absolute crap. Fire that principle

[@tyronej.teswood3642]

I'm full blooded Native American we are the first American and we are treated like crap but society....

My daughter would have absolutely walked with her cap and I would've been up there to make sure it happened

It’s not just Utah. Happens in SoCal where I’m from.

[@bryanitza-chulopez1658]

@@herewego8586 correct! They did the same thing to me during my graduation ceremony. I wanted to sport similar attire symbolizing my Apache ancestry and heritage but a liberal teacher of mine said I wasn’t allowed to wear that because of “policy” even though we got the green light from the assistant principal. LAUSD is a complete joke, followed by the bureaucrats running the state.

@@bryanitza-chulopez1658 that sucks ☹️ graduation day is about the graduate. You should be able to make it your own.

It really wasn't a ceremony without those feathers and bead work. It was just a graduation. I hope she can forgive those people someday. There just ignorant. They don't realize that ceromony was for all of them and it was ok'd by some adult and not an elder.

[@a.k.s.7114]

This is absolutely discrimination and ridiculous. Utah should know better especially with Native Americans who were here before anyone else. Nobody could decorate their caps in other districts....and where has tradition gone? That's always been allowed in Utah's public high schools. Are we in China?

[@maryams2016]

No they did it every year again and again.

that happens every year.

Nothing new in Indian Country. Those feathers were a gift from a family member who gave it to her in honor of her graduation. Those at that school didn't respect her or our heritage and broke promises thru paper and words that don't mean a thing. I would've worn it reguardless of what they said or thought.
