TL;DR Summary

A Native American high school graduate has sued an Oklahoma school district for not allowing her to wear a sacred eagle feather at graduation. Lena Black says Broken Arrow Public Schools violated her religious and free speech rights during her commencement ceremony last year. Her lawsuit follows another in Colorado, where a student sued for not being allowed to wear her Mexican sash. Ms Black is seeking at least $50,000 (£40,471) in damages from the school district and the two teachers involved.
