There was an elementary school in Longwood, FL that changed their mascot name not long ago.

Seems the original mascot was 'MinuteMen'. Then they got a new principal who decided that 'MinuteMen' was sexist so she renamed them the Badgers or some sort of godawful PC name.

Didn't have to replace the 'MinuteMen'.

Just put an earring in his ear and he's cool.

The Alumni Association should have protested, chanting "Badgers? We don't need no stinking Badgers!"

What, you don't think that the "Whenever Persons" is better than "Minute Men"?
The original mascot was offensive to womyn and persons who are habitually late, don't you know....

The idiocy of the public school establishment knows no bounds.
