An Eagle Feather?

When A Representation of a Native Nation Gets in the Way with Graduation

https://newsmaven.io/indiancountrytoday/news/indian-country-today-e-weekly-newsletter-for-may-23-2019-ce3M-Tvq1kiZRfTh9r8Aow/


How students' requests to wear symbols of their "Nation, heritage, ethnicity, religion' have complicated graduation ceremonial dress codes during their walk for diplomas and how these requests were handled when American constitutional freedoms were challenged and resolved (or not).

Honestly, this seems like such a no-brainer that should be allowed.
