| Body | From http://www.shawanoleader.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=30309&SectionID=2&SubSectionID=27&S=1 Parents of a child at Sacred Heart Catholic School are upset about the school's decision to bench the girl for "attitude issues" after she spoke a few words in the Menominee language at school. The seventh-grader's mother, Tanaes Washinawatok, said her daughter, Miranda, was not allowed to play in the basketball game Jan. 19 after being reprimanded that day for using the Menominee language during a homeroom supervised by teacher Julie Gurta. Later in the day Miranda was not allowed to play in a basketball game. Washinawatok said assistant coach Billie Joe Duquaine, a preschool teacher at the school, told Miranda she was benched because of an "attitude issue."
