We, the undersigned, feel that any child, regardless of race, colour, religion, or gender should not have to be subjected to ridicule or any other attack on their self-esteem and self-concept on the basis of their hair length. Therefore, we feel that the response by the Crown to not take any action towards the issue of a 7-year old Aboriginal boy having his hair cut (of which the Teacher's Aide in this instance had been fully aware of its being grown for the purpose of exercising traditional Anishnawbe spiritual values and beliefs) is an inappropriate reaction, and the Crown's inaction thus does not serve the best interests of the public. We strongly feel that there should be prosecution with respect to this incident that occurred recently (April 16, 2009)at the McKellar Park Public School in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
