I guess the school board has nothing better to do than worry about a school mascot.
Looks like goodbye to my mascot, the Lamar Redskin!
I find the Houston school board offensive. Very offensive.
“The Braves” ?? Go figure
Never met a mascot that didn’t offend me—goes back to when I was a kid and the school I started out in called themselves the WheatRidge Farmers Most of them kids had NO idea what a real farmer was. And those schools that called themselves the Wildcats—or the Panthers aint no way none of them would have scat to do with the real thing. One school I went to even called themselves the Miners.Have you ever been down inside a mine. Those I’ve been in were cold enough my bones ached. And dark Love to see any of them try to shoot hoops — or play a single quarter of football in any of the mineshafts I’ve seen. And none of the kids I knew at that schools could have handled a shift in a mine. So I’m all with banning offensive mascots.Maybe part of my problem is the school ignored my suggestion we be known as the teenage skirt and booze chasers.Can you believe they ignored that excellent suggestion from one of their own?
