Message: [QUOTE="buffalorange, post: 4644630, member: 758"] I understand changing mascots. There should be latitude for districts with native american student bodies to keep a name and mascot. For example, Lafayette schools, or Salamanca. What is less clear is the state school board's decree that if a school such as Liverpool used a native american mascot in the past and has changed that mascot, the school must now change its teams' name. Liverpool will be required to change the "warrior" name to something else. The board's position seems to be that because a school at one time had a native american mascot, the team name is now somehow tainted. That idea seems to be a punishment. The school has already gone through the conflict and expense of changing the logo and purchasing new uniforms. Now, it must be done again to change the team name. It seems vindictive. [/QUOTE]
