I’ve really kind of abandoned this blog since we won our case but now I may start it back up again. In case you’re curious, A.A. is approaching his 8th birthday next month and is fully enjoying second grade. He has made the all A honor roll all year long so far and is very happy at school. He has friends and is playing Little League baseball on a machine pitch team this year. His hair is still worn in two braids every day at school and is quite long now.
When I started all this, I was using myspace mostly as a way of spreading the word. Time has passed and myspace is clogged with videos and such that no-one watches so now I use facebook and twitter for my social networking needs. Today on facebook I got a new friends request from someone I seem to have some things in common with. Her 13 year old step-son may be about to face the same fight my son did. Here is a link to her blog. Please share and support.
Happy 2011!

Dear Mrs. Betenbaugh,
I am a sophomore at Harvard University and I am taking a class about religious pluralism in the United States. For my final project, I am studying the interactions between Native American religions, Christianity, and the government. I am concluding my project with several case studies about Native Americans being forced to cut their hair (or not, in your case) by the public school system. I would love to speak/e-mail with you or Mr. Arocha sometime during the next week if you are interested. The material will only be used for a class project and will never be published. Thank you and I am glad to hear that Adriel is doing well.
Sincerely,
Emily Marie Boggs
