"SFPS Board Seeks to Ban Santa Fe Fiesta Council from Schools"
The Santa Fe Public School board is considering a resolution to ban the Santa Fe Fiesta Council from participating in local school activities. Some parents argue that the Fiesta Court, which educates students about the history of Santa Fe and the 300-year Fiesta celebration, is beneficial for children to learn about their community. However, others believe that the representation and activities of the fiestas inadvertently perpetuate a narrative that glorifies the colonization or subjugation of indigenous peoples. The board will hold another meeting to further discuss and vote on the resolution.
