Mothers start petition to change Round Rock elementary school’s logo, mascot
KXAN Austin ^ | 8/10/19 | Will DuPree

Posted on 08/10/2019 4:44:06 AM PDT by Levy78

A group of mothers started an online petition to change the logo and the mascot at one of the elementary schools in the Round Rock Independent School District.

The mascot at Double File Trail Elementary School is currently the Braves.

It’s represented by a logo of a round, smiling cartoon face that has long hair and a headband with a feather sticking out of it.

Heather Snaman told KXAN that that logo has always bothered her since she started taking her daughter to school there more than three years ago.

“It’s a great school. We’ve had great teachers and great administrators, and I really don’t want to take away any of that,” Snaman said. “I just want the logo and the mascot to be something that’s also at that level.”

Her daughter won’t be a student at Double File Trail anymore, but Snaman created a petition with two other women whose children are enrolled there.

Of course what we have here is an obese, gender pronoun announcing, self-identified “activist”.

Smiling face; long, black hair with an Indian feather.

If this is offensive to her, the only possible explanation is that she is a racist. Someone needs to tell her.

Thousands upon thousands of people need to tell her.

And...while she won't admit it, she wants this guy for the mascot...

Hmmm, didn’t our enlightened betters instruct us that a “white person” could not understand the needs/desires of “people of color” ?

White people should remain quiet in their support for people of color?

Perhaps she should shut her white do-gooder guilt trap and go be fat somewhere else?

Earlier this week, though, the executive leadership team at Round Rock ISD agreed to no longer use the logo in question at Double File Trail. Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, the executive director of communications and community relations, said the district will wait to redesign the logo until it knows if the community wants to call the mascot something other than the Braves.

How about the Shicken Chits?

Every time I read a news story like this these days, I can’t help but re-write it in my head as if the reported did not support the subject.

Instead of “Mothers”, it would be a small group of people. The reporter would certainly point out that the ringleader does not even have a child enrolled in the school. Probably outside agitators, you know.

The ringleader would no doubt be “pouncing” on the administration or “seizing” some grievance or the other.

Even at the most innocuous level, all stories are written with a bias. You just don’t see it anymore. The notion that a reporter would play something down the middle is an anachronism.

Nowadays they are all trying to make the World a better place, don’tchaknow.

Three mothers obviously don’t have enough to do but cause trouble because of their prejudice against normal people.

The Austin area is infected with this type, which is why Austin is looking just as dirty as CA cities now.

Wanna have fun?

Start a petition to change the name of your local Martin Luther King Jr. school in light of the fact that it is now known that he was a serial abuser of women.

That’s right, it’s time to retroactively MeTo MLK.

When sacred cows collide, you get free hamburger!

A Tide pod or used condum would be a cool logo. How about a little boy dressed as a little girl.

I support the name change. It should be replaced with the “Indigenous Savages”.

Change it to the Cowards?

Maybe make it look like sheriff’s deputy Scot Peterson of Broward County?

I always love how SJWs think calling someone a “brave” is a slur.

A grown woman “triggered” by a logo.

Give her a “safe space” and forbid her from ever entering on the property again.

I used to be amused by these snowflakes. Now I’m really sick of them, making their “demands” because they are “offended.”
