I love how white folks talk about how "color" is not a factor within the PPS system (you should surely know what it's like to experience systemic racism) and how the "guise" of political correctness is often confused with giving marginalized communities respect and recognizing the horrible history of inequity and oppression they've had to endure. My question to the uniformed, yet opinionated commenters is where was your outrage when Native kids were being left behind and left out for generations? Why are you appalled when a disenfranchised community decides to take a larger role in the education of their children in order to address disparities and inequities? What's the difference between "our" students and the students of color that NAYA serves? Don't all of our kids deserve access to a quality education? I especially love how white folks feel like they get to choose who is Native and who isn't? Privilege much toch?
