NYS school districts told they can no longer use Native American symbols or mascots in their school name
If districts fail to comply with the state's directive, schools could be penalized by having school officers removed or state aid withheld.www.wgrz.com
This is just plain governmental overreach. Most, if not all of these schools have had these names/mascots for decades! We also see it being done to pro sports teams.
Who determines if it is demeaning? Some silly examples (although I'm sure this level of stupidity exists):If a team name is demeaning to a group of people, it's unacceptable.
In Illinois, the town of Pekin Illinois had a team name of the "Chinks". Because they thought this was perfectly acceptable. (They called their town "Pekin" because they thought it was on the opposite side of the world from Beijing, commonly called Peking at the time. They didn't change the name until 1981
Um, yes, team names demeaning a people who have been subjected to centuries of genocide is unacceptable.
Teaching kids not to be transphobic bigots is just fine. No one is going to be gay because they saw a drag queen once.
So you don't think adult men dressing as female caricatures is offensive and demeaning to women? Or do you think the oppression women have faced is justified?
Also what does drag have to do with trans? Drag queens are men who dress up as women, not transgenders. Drag Queens becoming the mascots for trans is why they're all called groomers.
Who determines if it is demeaning? Some silly examples (although I'm sure this level of stupidity exists):
- What if one is very tall and doesn't like the New York Giants?
- What if one had an unfavorable military career and does not like the Washington Commanders?
- How about a reformed Black Panther not liking the Carolina Panthers?
- What if one were a habitual thief and doesn't like the Pittsburg Steelers because it sound like the crime?
So tell me .. who determines if something is demeaning as I've demonstrated with these examples? You? Does America need to respond because individuals get butt hurt or "offended?"
Who determines it is wrong? You? If a man dresses like a woman, and has story book hour with elementary school kids ... is that wrong? How about if a male dresses like a woman and changes in your daughter's school locker room?If someone is dressing up like a woman for comedic effect, then that would be wrong.

Long before he was Trump's Bitch, Rudy was Trump's bitch.
Well, that's what you call them, because you are intellectually limited. And you believe whatever you hear on Fox News and Hate Radio.
On that last one, you'd be Stupid, because "Steelers" is a reference to the Steel industry, not "Stealing".
The other three are just silly.
Or you can just review them on a case by case basis. If you come up to me and say, "I'm a reformed criminal and am upset by "Steelers"", I'd probably laugh at you. Hey, maybe gays are upset by the Green Bay Packers.
Wow, because something unacceptable has been done for decades, that makes it okay, then?
These sport team names were NEVER acceptable.

Tons of examples. Hollywood has been doing it forever.View attachment 734051
Let’s not forget Mrs. Doubtfire, Too Wong Foo, Tootsie, and The Wild Wild West.

And maybe we need to reconsider those movies the way we've reconsidered all those Bugs Bunny Cartoons that were a little racist.Let’s not forget Mrs. Doubtfire, Too Wong Foo, Tootsie, and The Wild Wild West.
You're justifying it based on your perception on what is offensive or not. Silly examples .. yes .. and that's the point. You feel they are silly, and other may not because of the plethora of reasons to get offended. Many find team / mascot names such as Kansas City Chiefs, the Cleveland Indians and other references to be silly. What's the difference?
Cartoons, radio shows, and movies from that era were very racist.And maybe we need to reconsider those movies the way we've reconsidered all those Bugs Bunny Cartoons that were a little racist.
Redskins=Murdered Indians. That’s why it’s offensive.Those are specifically offensive to Native Americans. Which is why the Redskins and the Indians changed their names to the Commanders and the Guardians.
So future teams will have every Red Light district name possible.. Even the mascots will reflect that.Right schools using Native American symbols and mascots is unacceptable, but drag shows in schools are just fine...GTFOH.
Over $200K being spent on drag queen shows at NYC schools, records show
New York is showering taxpayer funds on a group that sends drag queens into city schools — often without parental knowledge or consent.nypost.com
So perhaps every street, town, and city that was named after American Indians should be changed also? Please. Your anti-white racism is showing.Wow, because something unacceptable has been done for decades, that makes it okay, then?
These sport team names were NEVER acceptable.
Only the offensive ones.So perhaps every street, town, and city that was named after American Indians should be changed also?
Libs are humorless slugs constantly searching for things to be indignant about.
You saw that too?They live to be offended. Being offended makes them feel as if they are special.
