ACLU finds ME schools falling short on Native American history
Fox News
The ACLU of Maine has conducted a survey of Maine schools and discovered many are failing to enforce a decades-old law requiring students to be taught about Native American history.
"Teaching Wabanaki Studies is not optional. It is required by law," Michael Kebede, policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine, said in a statement.
The Wabanaki Alliance, Abbe Museum and the ACLU of Maine used the state's open records law to survey 10 districts and the state education department on their compliance with the law. The Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission also joined in the report.
