I don’t care if they participated in a satanic ritual, Christian mass or if they summoned Yog-Sothoth, that has nothing to do with school, there should be no way for people to be expelled for something like that. And to top it off, it was a fucking dance ceremony.
At the time, her private school’s teachers were mostly white people who would often discuss the satanic nature of Apache traditions
Jesus fucking Christ…
I’m guessing Apache traditions predated Europeans importing the idea of Satan.
I would agree, but it also wasn’t a public school. Parochial schools in some places can be lax on the “Monday through Friday” type of school and focus on the Sunday School part.
WTF is a Lutheran school doing on a reservation to begin with? Why would any Native American even want to send their kids to it?
After reading the article and thinking about it more, I have another question:
Isn’t it time to start considering missionary work to be a hate crime?

If you’re unfamiliar, Christian religion is built on a very simple binary: “one true God” vs “everything else.” There’s a mess of variations but basically the devil/satin/Lucifer/whatever is the guiding had between that “everything else” whether the participants know/admit it or not. God may or may not be 3 entities depending on who you ask.
If you’re surprised by this I envy your nativity and pity your ignorance

Apache members, teachers and pastors have been faithful leaders as our Wels churches strive to present God’s truth among communities with their own valued religious practices.
Referring to how white missionaries target communities of color and paint their converts as impoverished victims in need of Christianity, Jones, the Public Religion Research Institute founder, said: “I’ll put it as bluntly as I can.
He continued: “If you happen to be a Christian and of European extraction in some way, it’s a pretty powerful drug to think that your race and your religion were chosen by God and represent the pinnacle of human achievement.
The morning of Good Friday, Father John Cormack, presiding priest of St Francis of Assisi Catholic church in Fort Apache, agreed to an interview in his office.

Oh no! Our helicopters have been satanically cursed!
(It’s customary to get permission from tribe elders before naming military equipment after them, and in the above case there was a Lakota dedication ceremony for the UH-72A Lakota helicopter.)
