I’m guessing Vidkun’s and Noel’s families would object, otherwise I would suggest the Quislings or the Cowards.

Idiots.

The Crusades were organized to push the bloody, cruel, slave-trading Muslims out of Christian lands, where they brutalized and enslaved the people even more than the perfidious monarchs and popes that preceded them.

No, it's NOT about political correctness ... it's about fear

Irrational fear

Christian school ?

feh !

2 Timothy 1:7
King James Version (KJV)

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

How about a woman being stoned to death as a mascot? Would that keep your lunatic ideas pacified?

Why would any Christian school want a mascot of someone who fought to spread Christianity? The cultural suicide of the west continues.

Lanting is an idiot, using double speak to avoid being labeled a politically correct dhimmi.

If you want to avoid offense, you might as well get rid of the gospel message of the cross. That’s the real “offense:”- a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles. But the wisdom of God.

Beside the assertion this report doesn’t make any sence. Team names are usually assigned to a specific school or is this goof ball suggesting banning the use of the word crusaders ? What’s next ?

It's a Christian school in Denver, Colorado -- so their next move will be to adopt a new motto, "Christians Against Christ".

Condemning crusaders completely misconstrues history. It would be as if, in World War II, the Allies’ D-Day invasion failed and Nazi Germany continued to dominate Europe in the 1940s and 1950s. And, in order to avoid offending the Nazis, the Allies started condemning the D-Day invasion as a wrongful attempt to take Nazi territory.

“Hey Muslims! We’re not changing our team name just to suit your sorry @zzes. We’re still the Crusaders!

“You got a problem with that? You plan to get violent?”

“Bring it, you raghead savages!!”

(Sigh....I wish)
