The US Department of Education will review a racism report filed by the Win-E-Mac School District in Minnesota, seeking to enforce courses of action following an incident in which two Indian students were allegedly assaulted.

The incident occurred at a pep rally held before a game between two high schools in the district. Teachers at one of the schools dressed up as Indians and performed a skit, vowing to send the other team, from a school Red Lake Indian Reservation, back to the "reservation."

The district and the Education Department agreed to five courses of action, including cultural awareness training of staff and students.
