My daughter's public school in Indiana is having "Hawaiian Day" today. That's offensive, isn't it?

I dropped her off this morning and saw girls (and boys) wearing grass skirts, some of them with coconut bras too. I'm not sure what else is going on, but it doesn't seem very respectful of a native culture that we have seriously fucked over. Would they have a "Native American Day" and let kids come in wearing feathered headdresses?
Or am I reading too much into it?
You're viewing a single thread.
“Offensive” wouldn’t be my biggest worry. I’m surprised the teachers aren’t being accused of indecency here. Here’s hoping they have good intentions.
If that were me going to school, I’d probably be spreading around awareness of the Hawaiian gods (good luck Indiana) while sipping some Hawaiian punch in the classroom and talking about how Hawaiians didn’t have schools the way we have them.
Indecency? I doubt they're wearing coconut bras without a t-shirt underneath.
Preferably yeah, a shirt would be ideal, but then how would anyone know they're wearing coconut bras?
Edit: Oh you said underneath
