[QUOTE="seashale76, post: 51948678, member: 95814"] Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this is something I've seen too. I wish I had an answer for why, but I don't. It is ignored in school curriculum frequently- I know that I never got the chance to study much about American Indians when I was in school. My brother-in-law is Indian and I still remember back when he applied to a minority teacher education program and was rejected. Someone actually told him that he wasn't the right kind of minority. He decided not to pursue action against them (even though we all encouraged him to) and went on to a different career. However, it's been quite a few years, but just yesterday he was lamenting the idea of never becoming a teacher. I still think he'd be a good one. He tried to laugh it off by saying he'd take a significant pay cut to do it now, but he obviously regrets never pursuing it. [/QUOTE]
