Basketball player benched for Native American language
SHAWANO — A seventh-grade student from Shawano‘s Sacred Heart Catholic Academy is upset and looking for an apology after she was benched from a basketball game.
12-year-old Miranda Washinawatok got in trouble with her teacher for saying “I love you.” She says the teacher didn’t get upset about what she said, but the language she used.
Washinawatok is Native American and speaks more than one language.
really? benched for speaking something other than english?? funny I have heard hispanics speaking in my son's school nobody tells them to speak english, this school should know that english is NOT the official language of the US, thus we can not MAKE anyone speak english, I am proud of her for knowing her native tongue, most native language is very difficult to translate let alone speak fluently.
