N.C. board delays removal of two Indian mascots


The Guilford County Board of Education in North Carolina has put off the removal of two Indian mascots pending further discussion, including with Native Americans.

The board tentatively agreed to get rid of the Andrews Red Raiders and Southern Indians mascots. But supporters of the Southern mascot said it honors Native Americans. Debate continues as the board meets tonight to consider the issue.

In 2002, the state Board of Education asked school boards to remove Indian-related mascots.
