Judgment Day for little ‘Indian’ girl ripped from family:
(Editor’s note: For most of the press, the sad saga of Lexi Page, stripped from the only family she ever knew because she is 1/64th Choctaw and given by social workers to a woman who not only is not related to Lexi by blood, but also is non-Native American, is long forgotten. But not for WND, which continues to follow the tragic case of racial profiling and discrimination in foster and adoptive care.
My comment: This whole mess isn't the Pages fault, Lexies fault or the Chochtaw Nation's fault. It's our own Government's fault for not placing Lexi with relatives to begin with. Whether Native American or not, Federal Mandates state "Relative placement" before Foster care, but as we ALL know, the States do NOT abide by Federal mandates, but they still keep receiving Federal funding. Why????
