Isn’t the name Brown racist?
Jerry Brown, (G. Edmund Brown, Jr.) is a pussy.
By that reasoning, blacks shouldn’t be allowed to be called black and whites shouldn’t be allowed be called white. Gov. Brown shouldn’t be allowed to use the word brown since somewhere in his ancestry, his ancestors likely had brown skin.
I don’t know why the color red should be so offensive to some people. Let the school change color to brown skins, white skins, black skins. At one time in the service my skin was even yellow from taking an anti malaria drug. Indeed, if Jerry is so sensitive to color and ethnicity he should find a different family name than Brown. Perhaps purple, yes Jerry Purple seems fitting.
>>using a term that American Indians regard as offensiv
At least this article says American Indians. Many such articles say “Native Americans”. A Native American is anyone born in the US of A, I believe.
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon I will be President
Carter power will soon go ‘way
I will be fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
—Dead Kennedys
As a person of color, I’m not offended by the name Redskins.
I’m white. White is a color.
Please don’t name any public schools after the sanctimonious paleface, Jerry Brown.
Colored people should be offended by Gov. BROWN’s last name
Everyone with clean underwear should be offended by that turd.
Liberals are fascist pukes.

How long will my Fresno High School Warriors last? They’ve been to court once over it, and it was decided in their favor.
They can legislate you out of existence before you’re born or long after .. Makes no matter to nanny staters.. Cradle to grave robbers.. And they are proud of it.
They will answer.. Some day.. God pity them then. I won’t.
Actually the issue of the Washington Redskins in DC has been going on for quite some time, and there are some statistics on who is offended in that case. At any rate, my solution is “keep the name, change the logo”. Put a nice plump redskin potato on the helmets.
Actually, I think the legislation was that the commercials could NOT be louder than the programs they came with. It always used to annoy me a lot when I was watching TV, my children were sleeping, and then a loud commercial would come blasting out. Since I didn’t have a remote, I would have to jump up to turn down the volume so the kids wouldn’t wake up.
How about naming them after someone that’s important?
Call them the monkeys.
I read wikipedia on it. And they said they had polled 400 native Americans in California and 65% found it offensive. Hardly a representative poll.
I think they should leave it up to the tribal councils. If a majority of the tribal councils want the name changed, then change it. No point in offending them if they are really offended.
But we shouldn’t erase all memory of native Americans from our culture just because some liberal claims to have done a small poll, either.
Because it is annoying does not give the federal government the right to regulate it.
Not a representative poll at all, but that never stopped them. Sonoma county did a survey trying to find discrimination against homosexuals and found none. Not to be deterred, they recommissioned the survey at great expense (millions) because it did not mesh with their belief.
