I am shocked that a high school would have such an offensive team name. Where do they get such ideas?

I used to have one of those Cleveland Indians caps with the Chief Wahoo logo on the front, back inthe ‘80s. I worked with a woman who came up to me and said: “Your hat offends me” Why? “Because it mocks my heritage” Up until this point I had no idea she had any Native American blood. And looking back, she probably was one of those folks who do have N.A. heritage, but consider themselves “spokesmen”. Heck, I’ve got Indian blood in me, but I just don’t CARE. I remember laughing at her for her ridiculous “offense” over a cartoon character.
