William King Moss III, Islip Town NAACP President, former mathematics teacher in Brentwood Union Free School District and father of two Brentwood students, filed the complaint against the district on March 26.

Moss argued that the other options chosen, "Green Machine," "Bears," "Owls," "Bulldogs," and "Eagles," were not members of an "identifiable or generally perceived protected class," like the Spartans.

"Spartans are of the identifiable and generally perceived protected classes of White Non-Hispanic in race, White in color, Greek in National Origin, and Spartan or Greek in Ethnicity," the complaint states.

Indeed and fail to admit how long Rome had white slaves and fed them to the lions in the arena.

History isn’t always loaded with all the facts.

American blacks are more than likely THE most racist group to ever exist here.

That’s one of the many gifts a government spoiling a particular race for decades gives us.....that and a hell of a lot of crime that we otherwise wouldn’t be experiencing.

“History isn’t always loaded with all the facts”

Not if you leave it up to a bunch of liberal teachers and professors you don’t.

This is the way. Never should have changed it to begin with.

The school board defended its decision to Moss, according to an alleged email sent by the school board in December. The board argued the team name was used by over a dozen school districts in New York and denied that Spartans implied any "particular ethnic group."

I predict that despite this statement, the school board will cave. You see, the Karens -- and there are a lot of them in New York -- have just been advised by this incident to check their white privilege.

Michigan State University and San Jose State University have Spartans as their team names. Is the name racist at the college level too?

Maybe they can change Spartans to Messenians...but that would be lost on people who know nothing of Greek history.

Greeks are not white. Just because you say it, doesn’t make it true. Reminds me when they labeled George Zimmerman a white hispanic.

All true, but unless many people are held accountable and jailed, executed, and destroyed, they still gained a boatload of money, power, and global influence. Trump will only set them back a few years, but their return will be extremely well funded.

Indeed it’s what they call introduction to their party plan.

The only protected color is black. Not sure how that happened, but it did.

They could be the Kanyes, known casually as the YeYe-s

they should choose a tiny penis as their mascot to represent the aggrieved complainants

They should name it after Soros. The Brentwood Capos. It can be taken in 2 ways.
