Kansas Unified School District 444 superintendent Milt Dougherty says opinions of local American Indian Movement leaders on the Little River High School's "Redskins" mascot respesent only the viewpoint of a vocal minority.

He says he sees nothing wrong with the mascot and that the community supports it. Two members of the local AIM chapter have filed a discrimination complaint with the Department of Justice, who hopes to resolve the issue through mediation within 135 days.
