The official in charge of a White House initiative on American Indian education allegedly pummeled a Native American student who was visiting Washington, D.C., for displaying his support for the Washington Redskins.
By way of information, a lot of tribal youths have taken to wearing Redskins jerseys and other apparel as a way of confirming and reinforcing their racial identity and not necessarily because they are fans of Washington's team. I would expect the Obama White House, the most racially sensitive and identity boosting administration ever, would be aware of this. Certainly, I would expect it from the Herbert in charge of the "White House initiative on American Indian education".
Also, the kid was autistic, so give him a break, willya?

Speaking as a tribal member, although not of the Navajo, I've found the current administration the most hostile to American Indians since Abraham Lincoln's.
