But what exactly do you want from a Lutheran school? The article's constant red-herring about the race of "most of" the people at the school is draining. The issue is right there in the name of the school.

Also why build a Lutheran school in an Apache reservation and not expect them to integrate some degree of their own culture into their new found Christian belief?
From what I understand this seems to be the closest school to them in their reservation. (citation needed)
But in general I can’t believe that one can be expelled in the 21st century in a western country under the reasoning of „doing something satanic“?!
What even is the definition of satanic? I actually want to doubt that that is their official reason of expulsion.
To provide education informed by and providing Lutheran Christian values and practices.
Different Christian denominations have difference ideas about what constitutes valid syncretic Christian practice vs heterodoxy, paganism, or outright devil worship.
The Catholics are notorious for allowing a surprising amount of syncretism, and the average Protestant is known for alleging even the Catholics are practicing ugodly polytheism.
Do you believe it would be better that the Lutheran's didn't build a school there at all? It's not a purely rhetorical question, I can imagine arguments for that position.

Is it actually hard to believe that a Lutheran school would throw you out for that, or is this rhetorical? Are you making a statement about your shock that religious schools are even allowed to exist, or what exactly?
They built to school specifically to convert the locals and destroy their culture. The explicit goal of building the school was the direct opposite of "...integrate some degree of their own culture..."
