Native Americans still getting screwed after all these years, starting with the colonists and now by educated idiots
Here is yet another example of educated idiots running America’s schools. Chelsey Ramer has to pay a $1,000 fine before she can get her high school diploma. A $1,000 fine just because she wore a feather on her cap? How gross!
AMERICAN INDIAN GIRL FINED $1,000 FOR WEARING FEATHER AT ALABAMA GRADUATION

ATMORE, Ala. - An American Indian student says she's being fined $1,000 for wearing a feather on her mortarboard when she graduated from high school in south Alabama in late May.
Chelsey Ramer said that she feels like she's being discriminated against by her alma mater, Escambia Academy in Atmore.
The 17-year-old is part of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, and she says she wore a feather at graduation last month to honour her heritage.
The school now is making Ramer pay a $1,000 fine to get her diploma and official transcript. She's accused of violating school policy.
A school contract says students and staff are not allowed to wear extra items during graduation unless they're approved in advance by the administration.
The school headmaster didn't return a message seeking comment Thursday.

Not only is that stupid and tacky it would in some states be illegal. She completed the course work, she is entitled to her diploma and transcript without being shaken down by some PC idiot.
