Apparently the complaint brought against the newspaper and its faculty advisor (see the post several posts down, the one with the cartoon) cited as authority the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1996 (I think they might mean 1978), the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968 (presumably mostly referring to this section), and the Southwest Missouri State University Nondiscrimination Policy (apparently here). None of these, it seems to me, comes even close to prohibiting cartoons such as the one involved in this incident — though of course even if they did, they would be unconstitutional.
