School Mascots

NY has ordered that all Indian-related mascot names - MUST be changed.
IF they dont - then their school funding will be cut by the State!

One exception is if a recognized tribe givers approval to use such name.

From US News & Report.


Cambridge Central Schools has filed an appeal
You get what you voted for in this case.

Some people think crime is an issue, or drugs over running our young people, or inflation destroying our buying power.

But you can rest easy that while you are filing for bankruptcy, or calling an ambulance because your kids have OD’d or you’ve been car-jacked there will be no more “Indians” or “Braves” playing high school sports.

peace to you

I thought most states settled this issue 15 years ago. So much for New York being progressive.

By the way, the best mascot is in the UP of Michigan with the Watersmeet Nimrods!

Well, New York was named after the Duke of York who was involved in the slave trade.

They need to rename New York.
