In Montgomery County Maryland SSR, the County is making a small, low population rural school called the Poolesville Indians change their name....in the populated suburban affluent section of the county the Sherwood Warriors are being left alone (their logo is a the FSU Seminol Arrowhead). Somebody told me this was not altered as it represents Sherwood Forest. So, I guess we cant interpret that white violence is OK as long as it is criminal and show to be stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. FYI, the state of Maryland has weighed in supporting this and are investigating about 14 schools names and logos.

umass used to be called the redmen, but the school changed it to minutemen after protests from the 'native' americans quincy (mass) high school called the presidents because it's the birthplace of two presidents other white nicknames - providence friars, centenary gentlemen, indiana hoosiers didn't the university of hawaii drop their nickname (rainbows) because it was associated with gays?
