A parent complained that the song made popular by the Village People was racist.
From our source we read:
Parent Elaine Bolman found it offensive that her daughter or her classmates would be asked to dress up like a stereotypical Native American caricature.
"I'm not in a position to do anything for these educators, and hopefully those people that are can make the right choices so all students of any culture and race won't feel singled out or like their race is being stereotyped against," Bolman told Inforum.
Students at Bennett Elementary School in Fargo were supposed to sing the famous Village People song during a May talent show.
No one complained about the stereotypical white cowboy.
