Native American Teacher Under Fire for Wearing Headdress and Tomahawk

From the end of the article:

Here are the facts: Anyone has a right to wear any costume they desire because America is a free country governed by reasonable laws, not a communist hellhole ruled by the ludicrous demands of puerile wannabe dictators.

Second, the fact that the teacher happens to be Native American completely refutes this idea that she’s somehow a racist or was engaging in racism.

Last but not least, the entire notion of “cultural appropriation” makes no sense.

As I explained in another piece for Conservative Tribune earlier this year, nearly every contemporary custom we take for granted originated with — or was “appropriated” from — another culture — the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Sumerians, etc.

Culture is at its core a transcendent phenomenon that spans geographic and ethnic boundaries across the centuries and even millennia, meaning that this notion that any particular subset of modern people “own” certain cultural styles and fashions is just plain wrong, as well as immensely ignorant.

I think that sums it up pretty well. Agree.

Somewhat of a sticky situation there.

Interesting!
