Editorial: Not all 'Indian' mascots in our schools are offensive
Posted: Thursday, May 17, 2012
"The Oregon Board of Education might decide on Thursday to require 15 public high schools to do away with their mascots or logos, by 2017, because the symbols are associated with Native Americans.
We hope board members choose not to impose this one-size-fits-all edict on schools with mascots such as Warriors, Braves and Indians.
This is not to say that the concern which motivated the board’s discussion — that such symbols are offensive to some Native Americans — is trivial."
