That two young Native American men could be pulled from a tour for police questioning on the basis of a call from one woman who didn’t report that they had done anything remotely illegal.

…Students join admissions tours late all the time. Some students are chatty with others on the tour and others aren’t. But these behaviors are all pretty standard for teenagers and not seen as cause for calling the police.

….The student tour guide posted a letter to the Native American students’ mother in which she said that their behavior was not the least bit threatening or out of the ordinary. “I cannot believe someone on my tour interpreted what your sons ‘did’ (nothing) as suspicious. When they joined my tour, minutes after I left, I was just pleased that they were able to find us. When they didn’t introduce themselves, I responded in the way that I have to countless other teenagers who don’t feel comfortable speaking in front of a group of 20 strangers — with a self-deprecating joke,” wrote the tour guide.

“I can’t explain fully the actions of the other mother. I have no idea what she was feeling because she didn’t tell me. But I know racism lives and breathes on my campus and in our country. I know that I am so saddened by how your sons were treated because I want everyone on my tour to feel like they’ve stepped into their new home. I am angry that they had to feel unwelcome because of actions I knew nothing about.”

Colorado State investigates why Native American students on admissions tour were reported to police

Blatant and gross misuse of police resources. The woman should face charges. If CSU hasn’t banned her from campus they should face charges for encouraging terrorism, intimidation, and hate crimes.

CSU’s offer of paying expenses incurred and a VIP tour is a joke. If they actually cared and wanted to make up for this hateful behavior they themselves facilitated they would offer free tuition for both boys, for four years. Anything short of free tuition and banning the offending ‘mother’ is tacit support of her calling 911 in the first place.

Before you say, isn’t banning the woman from campus and wanting her to face criminal charges is harsh, realize that her actions did not give the boys the benefit of the doubt and it was her intention to have them removed from campus and face charges. Since the parameters were already set by her actions, there is no valid reason for her not to be judged and treated by those exact parameters. She should be required to experience the same consequences she selected for others.

If the mother faces no consequences then it is tacit sanctioning of her thinking and her actions. Consequences that involve police action, criminal prosecution, and permanent banning from CSU’s campus is required. anything less is a spit in the face of both justice and law and order.

Colorado State University: 911 audio released after parent called cops on Native American brothers because they made her ‘nervous’ – CNN

The mother who called the police should be banned from the college campus. she should also face charges for wasting police resources on her racism. If the school takes no action against her they are sanctioning this injustice.

If I were the parent of the two boys involved I’d sue Colorado State University and the responding police force all the way to the stone ages for enabling this backwards woman to use tax=payer funded resources to terrorize two innocent children.

Without severe consequences for actions like this there is no motivation for small minded individuals to stop being such outrageous and entitled assholes.
