Questions

This man is Big Foot a religious leader. He was killed for his religious beliefs. 20 pieces of silver were given for his death, they called them Medals of Honor.
	20 pieces of silver were given for this man's death. Is he a religious leader if his followers are hypocrites and bigots? Or is he just another dead ethnic minority member? His portrait has not yet been painted permanently on school hallways and gymnasium floors so that basketballs and sweat may be dribbled on his image. EQUALITY? Then this man should be a school mascot as well.

 

Is religious clothing a public school sports costume?

IS THE DRILL TEAM MARCHING TO FEED THE HUNGRY AND MINISTER TO THE SICK? OR ARE THEY THE "PAPIST" MASCOTS ROOTING FOR TOUCHDOWN JESUS?

In a school system bound by law to present an equatable education isn't it time the students of North High School and their parents got to watch bare young female legs moving beneath
a Nun's pleated miniskirt at football games?

IS THAT WRONG FOR CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS?

HOW CAN IT BE RIGHT FOR INDIAN RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS?

To the Sioux the the Virgin Mary is the essence of the White Buffalo Calf Woman

Through out history the Sioux have never feared the religion of another,
but have always showed honor for another religion

All we ask is that you do not fear our religion
We only ask that you show the respect that we have shown yours.

THE WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN WITNESSED THE SUFFERING OF HER PEOPLE   The woman has appeared in visions to many people, bringing them help, comfort and peace. She is seen in the stories of Christian beliefs as Mary.
	Is Mary, the mother of Jesus, a mascot to the public schools? Isn't it about time she pulled her own weight on the mascot block or painted on the gymnasium floor? IS SHE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A MASCOT?

AMERICANS CLAIM TO HAVE COME TO THE AGREEMENT THAT IT IS UNEQUAL AND UNFAIR TO FORCE ANY ONE RELIGION ON ALL STUDENTS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL

OR
TO DENIGRATE AND DEGRADE ANY RELIGION...

...ANY RELIGION EXCEPT...

INDIAN RELIGION WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE NO RELIGION AT ALL

DO YOU TEACH YOUR CHILDREN RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY ?
DO SLAUGHTERED INDIAN CHILDREN LOOK IN ON THIS WORLD AND LAUGH
AT THE "JOKES" IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT THEIR PEOPLE?

WILL YOUR CHILDREN LAUGH AT THE "JOKES" WHEN THEY GROW UP AND REALIZE HOW THEIR PARENTS TAUGHT THEM TO HONOR RACISM?

WILL THE AMERICAN STUDENTS OF THE 1990'S BE ANGRY WITH THEIR PARENTS AND SCHOOLS FOR FAILING TO TEACH THEM ABOUT RACISM?

HOW EASY WILL IT BE FOR AMERICAN RACIST HICKS TO FIND EMPLOYMENT IN THE WORLD WE WILL KNOW IN THE 21ST CENTURY?

A DEAD GRANDMOTHER, WOUNDED KNEE MASSACRE
The photograpers covered the children and posed the bodies.

Do you see ANY honor in making this dead grandmother, her religion, her ancestors and her grandchildren into mascots?

It is time to stop the racism It is time to stop the bigotry It is time to learn the meaning of HONOR

It is time to teach the true history of the treatment of Native American people and their religions with out the sugar coating

It is time to stop mocking Native American religious symbols.

" Chief Illiniwek, University of Illinois, 1944"

It is time to teach school children of the legacy of hatred, death and oppression put upon Native Americans that is kept alive by making a living people into mascots because...

IGNORANCE BREEDS RACISM, HATRED AND BIGOTRY
