What don’t schools stand up against these PC bullies?
Well, here in Wisconsin, most of the public schools think the bullies are right. What is ironic is when this whitewashing of school mascots is done, 20 years later no one will think of the primative Americans as warriors or fighters. They will only think of them as reservation, welfare slugs or operators of casinos. The PC bullies are doing more harm to the reputation of the former primatives than good.
Many schools around Wisconsin have already changed their “indian” names/mascots.
