The teacher has been placed on leave as the district investigates the matter further, it said.
"While the educator may not have intended to cause harm, we are disappointed by the insensitive and inappropriate behavior recorded in one of our classrooms," RCTA President Laura Boling said in a statement. A student in class filmed the teacher's odd dance and mocking chants, according to Akalei Brown, a Native American scholar and a family friend of the teen's. Brown then posted the video on her Instagram, with nearly 23,000 followers, leading to the suspension and the protest.
She’s loony and shouldn’t be teaching anything.

The Native American renascence is a reclaiming of their agency to enforce their right as a people and culture within a culture. It is a beautiful thing to witness. People of Color rising up.
