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.
