Agency and Indian Agents are still among us...

Received word that the OCR within the Department of Education found no foul at Century High School, despite the fact that we had proof to the contrary, from the Mayo Clinic no less.  They found no foul because they NEVER interviewed our witnesses.

Century now gets to carry on, discriminating as before and also claiming that students broke codes of conduct with out any proof.  How utterly sad for the City of Rochester.  

It should come as no surprise because any AGENCY that has to investigate itself, will probably find no wrong against their own kind.  Ferguson, NY and OHIO bore this out and it will continue to happen because of the doctrine of discovery.  The burden is on us poor folk to prove that the dominant society did something wrong.   Now therein lies the rub.

What is wrong?  Nothing is wrong if you say, "I have no memory of that..."  Or if you say, "I just did what I usually do..." and so on.  Poor baby is just a cog in the wheel, problem is, that wheel of discovery just keeps on rolling over us poor folk.

In GOM's day, Indian Agents renamed us, decided who was Indian and who wasn't, decided who to pay, record, and so on.  They set up AGENCIES to determine that all was being treated fairly and according to the law; to their advantage.  Ah, there is the rub.  It rears its ugly head for the discerning eye to see.  Those who can see, have the wheel marks still squarely upon them, having been trampled under time and time again.

Those of us who have been raised by goodly parents who also have the discerning eye, have said, "get all of the education you can because that is the one thing they cannot take away from you!"  Yet, with all of our education and proof, the world is still theirs.  

We are left to hold our heads up high and say, my name is "Wanske" or "Hopoekaw" or Valerie Guimaraes aka "Henook Pinga" and I will be counted.  I will tell you my name so that you can record it properly, and Century/OCR you can keep your money 'cuz I don't need it!  Never wanted it, that was their fear!  We are doing just fine thank you.  You are the ones in need.  I will keep my integrity and honesty.  You however, desperately need to receive training on discrimination, institutional racism, and the law.  Oh, and perhaps a lesson on statistics would help as well because in due time, there will be more of us than you.
