WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 2002 The California Assembly on Tuesday killed a measure that would have banned all Indian mascots in the state. The vote was 35-29, with most Republicans and some Democrats opposing it. The measure had cleared two committees with almost no objections. Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg (D-Los Angeles) sponsored the bill. She criticized colleagues whom she said were unfairly comparing Native Americans to "ducks, and colors, instead of human beings." "This is not a joke," she said on the floor. Get the Story:
