As a Catholic, I admit I was surprised to see that a Baptist school used the name “Crusaders”. Regarding changing their name, this is just more PCness gone amuck. Did the article even state that Muslims attend this school? I don’t recall.

Actually, it's more common than you think. Also, many schools that have "Knights" as a mascot, the knight is actually a crusader (cross on shield). Much of this is "mascot laziness" - picking imagery without paying attention to details. As a Catholic, I have no idea what the Protestant attitude is about Crusaders or that they would necessarily want to disown them.
