58. The DU reaction seems far more extreme than the Native American

so I think asking DU to take a step back is not "Whitesplaining". In this thread, we've seen calls for the students to be locked up for several years. The Font du Lac Band is just asking for the school districts and leadership to act because of the racism, not the police or court systems to press charges about intended violence:

"We are horrified and saddened by the ignorant and racist statements of students from schools where many of our Native youth attend," Fond du Lac Chairman Kevin Dupuis Sr. wrote in a letter to the superintendents of the Esko and Cloquet school districts.

"We want to receive an immediate response from the school districts and school leadership on how you intend to address this situation, not only with the specific students involved in the incident but also with the larger student body community."
...
She said she wants the involved students to apologize to the Native community, and for school leaders to do more, including requiring curriculum that would educate students about Native American oppression and genocide.
...
She said Cloquet school leaders "made remarks over the loudspeaker and put an e-mail out. But they're not being transparent about the actions they took with the students or what they will do to prevent this in the future. … Our community deserves to know the outcome."
