    This feels almost too "mentally disturbed" to be offensive. The student who filmed it was right- he was more concerned about his teacher than anything else. That lady needs help in some form or fashion. A LOT of help

    She seems to have lost her mind... but as a former high school teacher I have a great amount of sympathy for her.

It was wonderful, amazing, we all learned so much, and nobody took offense.

    Big difference between a minor dressing up and a teacher who went to university to study doing what she did.

      @Coom Lord - Most countries have freedom of speech nowadays, except for some countries in the Middle East.
      - the 2nd amendment is one of the reasons why you see so many school shootings, name another developed country that has as many school shootings as the US...I'll wait
      - better healthcare? Before Obamacare, you had nothing
      - #1 when it comes to obesity
      - very low in terms of academic performances... I like the US but your country is taking a turn for the worse

    wow...the teacher went as far to dress up for the students to teach them a lesson and she got in return that it was offensive to native Americans? We live in complete idocracy when depend on the areas in the USA 30% of the students and age 14 are unable to read and write. This teacher should be thanked for the extra efforts. Gosh... in China and few countries education became priority and in the USA it is falling. You have to be politically correct not to hurt anybody feeling in a society where groups now saying that math with chemistry and physics are racist. We are F-ed.

      @@erickanew no I don't get it. Also I dot get it that if somebody dress up at Halloween in a Chinese, Japanese or other culture's dress is racist as well. none of those nations find it racist but left-wings Americans. The racist are the mentally handicap people who think anything and everything is about race. Kids getting less and less educated and the same people who find such thing like this racist are the ones want to abolish even tests. Interestingly my friend who is a native American doesn't find this offensive, but people like you do.

      @@thetruthalwaysscary If you’re not the race or ethnicity you claim are “not offended” you really can’t speak for them lol. There is a difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation. Mocking someone else’s cultural is disrespectful, especially in the context of American history. You are aware of the genocide of indigenous peoples by colonialists no?
