An anti-discrimination lawsuit involving Native American students in New Mexico will move forward. The case goes back to 2018 when a teacher in the state's largest school district in Albuquerque was accused of cutting off a Native American girl's hair and asking another if she was dressed as a bloody Indian on Halloween. The ACLU of New Mexico sued the district on behalf of the students.
Outrage over the girl's treatment prompted legislation cracking down on discrimination based on a person's hairstyle.
