Since this story hit...Thank you for sharing this. <br />Since this story hit the news- and I have seen it published as far away as the UK, and in the Huffington Post, etc.- I spent little time reading comments and reaction from people about it.<br />I have received a lot of supportive comments, AND many ridiculously racist ones as well. A few websites said the incident is "STUPID" and said that I am being too politically correct- and that's putting it nicely. I've seen comments from people like "I'm part Indian and I thought it was funny!" I challenged some of these people to try living in my shoes; try being a Native woman for a day, in today's society.<br /><br />I've even had backlash from certain members of my own family. <br /><br />However, I know by bringing this into the spotlight I did the correct thing. If anything it also helped me develop a thicker skin (I am a journalist). Simply put- the teacher sent it home with the student whose parent decided that enough is enough.<br /><br /><br />Abbey ThompsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292336500213667903noreply@blogger.com
