Disney 'regrets' performance by visiting school drill team that included offensive Native American stereotypes
A Disney spokeswoman said Friday that the company regretted the performance this week by the “Indianettes” drill team from Port Neches-Grove High School.
The spokeswoman says that an audition tape the school had provided in order to be selected to perform at the theme park resort was inconsistent with the actual performance.The school has not publicly commented about the controversy. However, this was not the first performance to feature American Indian stereotypes. Other performances have been posted online— with many people critical of the content.
More than 147,000 people have signed a petition on change.org for the school to replace its Indian mascot.
