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.

And Ginny is from Cincinnati, per a commenter.
Not native Texan.

well the family unit today is everything but united. We watched this fall for many years now. They have their career path they’re on leaving behind them a trail of broken homes. But they take great pride in their successes outside the home while they grumble about their home life.

“A grown woman “triggered” by a logo.”
Red flag her fat butt.
The do-gooder Left is cleansing the culture of Indian references that were introduced as an honor and that used to be a ubiquitous part of the US.
I truly wish these little groups of easily offended suburbanites, with nothing better to do, virtue-signaling their “goodness”, would take up a hobby and stop bothering everyone else.
Seriously, sports teams and schools could make themselves bulletproof by hiring tribes to create inoffensive, tribal-motif artwork including mascots and logos, cheers, you name it.
In exchange, they could get normal art commission money for it, and if it is for a pro team, gifts like box seats and discounts.
I’ve been to major Indian arts fairs and they produce some high quality work, that they sell reasonably but are later marked up terribly by galleries. So if you deal directly with the tribe you save a ton of money.
Put it to a vote and everyone must vote ,everyone
Sam Bass would be a better mascot anyways....
Wow! What’s more racist then wanting to remove historical names & symbols from public view?
I have 4 nicknames to replace the Braves name: 1) Afraids 2) Morons 3)Liberals and 4) Idiots...😋
That guy is more of an escort than a mascot.
“The do-gooder Left is cleansing the culture of Indian references that were introduced as an honor and that used to be a ubiquitous part of the US.”
Exactly! In spite of the cruelty, kidnappings & murders that the natives also imposed upon the settlers, there was some sense of friendship & respect among the natives & settlers. Whatever was right or wrong we can’t change history, yet we can remember it in memoriam and or celebration, according to what’s acceptable.
I propose that they change the mascot to a BEAVER.
They can re-use the same letters.
And remember children: there are boy beavers and girl beavers.
This could be a lot of fun!!!
