Bemidji, MN - There is nothing that a two year old child could do that justifies the assault by slapping from a complete stranger. McDonald's management at the Bemidji Lakeside Restaurant should have called the police on the adult who attacked the 2 year old. The employee who humiliated the family of the Native American toddler needs to be fired, with the reason for his termination documented in his employment records.

Happy Meals should not be served with a side of racist venom.

In solidarity with the Red Lake Grandmother who was asked to leave McDonald's because she came to the aid of her grandbabies being attacked by non-Indian patrons with racial slurs and a slap, the Native American Veterans Shawl Society (AMVETS Women's Auxiliary of Leech Lake) will support the Native American Veterans Outreach boycott of McDonalds until resolution has been made with the Native American family from the Red Lake Nation.
