I suppose that Barbara Munson is at least as authentic of an Native American name as Elizabeth Warren.

Does she have high cheek bones to prove it?

Racism because you have the likeness of an indian for a mascot. Where does the racism stop? Why is catering to the minorities so lucrative to the liberals and race baiters?

Anyone else see the irony of the leader of an INDIAN group getting upset? I thought it was “Native American”?

Geeze—some folks sincerely need to get a life.

They should spend all of this energy on finding the cure for cancer, or achieving world peace or something.

Sorry—it get’s tiring the way some people must spend their lives searching for something that they can call discrimination...........

Guess I’m not feeling too liberal today—LOL!

If Democrats were a team, they should have mascot names like the Democrat Busybodies, or Whiners, or Crybabies, or Loafers, or Know-It-Alls or Spenders.

Wonder if they would find it offensive if there were some Viking or Scottish Mascots with all the attire for that.

Perhaps tribal leaders can worry about the school names and mascots on tribal lands. They should not concern themselves with schools outside of tribal lands unless the school has misrepresented itself as a tribal school.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed an Indian mascot bill on Thursday that will make it harder for politically correct meddlers to force public schools around the state to change their mascots, logos and team names.
Thanks markomalley.

When I entered the military in 1956 I was a “Hillbilly” because I was from Kentucky. The military used tens of thousands of “Hillbillies and found most of them to be capable and of good cheer. Most of us didn’t object to being called redneck(the result of earning an honest living and spending more time outdoors than indoors) There are so many things to do with our lives other than making ourselves mentally ill by blaming others for our perceived problems.

My biggest beef is when the Marquette Warriors changed their names to the Golden Eagles. Since then, they haven’t done jack in the NCAAs.

It doesn’t seem to matter to white liberals that 90% of Indians are NOT offended by these nicknames, and in fact, many use the names themselves in their own tribal schools.

I like the old law. All it takes is one person to complain about the name of a school. Complain about every name of every school. Overwhelm the system. I find any school named after Martin Luther King racist. I find every school named after Any Kennedy anti-American and offensive.

I say it is their God given right for Washington D.C.'s team to be called... the Deadskins! And I will defend to the death my right to hate them without regardless of their age, race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status, and socioeconomic status

They are friggin Deadskins-- And that's all... I need to know!

Everybody has missed an opportunity here. Schools should ask tribes to copyright some tribal symbol that would “sort of” represent the tribe, and be appropriate for a non-tribal sports team, then the school can extended lease the symbol, say for 50 years, for a set small fee paid in advance.

In effect, the school would pay the tribe for sports appropriate graphic design, for about the same price it would pay a graphic designer to craft a school mascot and logo.

This would totally neuter the arguments of the dumbasses, that such a symbol is “offensive” to the tribe that designed and is leasing it. And as a copyrighted work, anyone other than a licensed user who uses it has committed copyright infringement.

Good law, Walker. It is about time some kind of common sense prevailed. And kick the crap ass out of any lawyer or insane group that fight it.
