Cancellation of the Lakota East High School play "Ten Little Indians" by school administrators has created a stir in the community.
The leader of the local NAACP said administrators, who canceled the play citing its violent content and racial title, made the right decision. But one Lakota board member said she disagrees with the decision.

If you ask most American Indians, they detest being called “Native Americans” and would prefer being called “American Indian.”
The NAACP, once again, is creating a problem that didn’t exist before.

"Ten Little Indians" They think that's bad, guess what Agatha Christie originally titled it....

Oh, how interesting. Contrast this with
my local High School NOT canceling the hue-n-cry over the recent production of Laramie Pjt.

Our local high school is doing “Disney’s High School Musical.” That’s even more offensive.

This article doesn’t detail it, but the original title (which I was unaware of until now) is a large part of what the NAACP individual is basing his complaint on.

Both the school administrators and the leader of the NAACP are FOOOOOOOOOLS. Where are tar and feathering and riding someone out of town on a rail when you really need them? Is it any wonder in a society where so many are so afraid to offend someone that such weeds of imbecility grow in such rank profusion?

Ten Little N-Words, apparently. Iwas totally unaware of this and read this book 30 years ago.

You know better than to use a “slightly modified” title.

Our High School play this year was “Hankerin’ Hillbillies”. I guess its ok to make fun of white underprivledged folk, seein hows no one objected it and we all had a good time doin it.

The original title is “Lakota Cancels School Play”. Readers not from my area would have no idea what Lakota High School is, therefore, I replaced the name of the high school with “High School”.
No other intentions meant.

It’s a baseless complaint.
So she originally titled it “Ten Little Niggers”.
In England, where the term could not possibly have carried the “baggage” it carries here (at least, when honkies use it).
It never had that title here.
NAACP guy should STFU.

NAACP needs to stay out of schools. they got my senior play canceled because it was "inherently racist with no parts for black students" (we were supposed to do grease) never mind that we had no black student even show up for tryouts.
worse, they got it replaced with little shop of horrors- which, oddly, has no "black" rolls either.

This is as silly as calling the Muslim rioters in Paris ‘youths.’
