State bill would force schools to defend 'discriminatory' mascots
Posted on February 23, 2010
The list of mascots includes the Redmen, Chiefs and Indians.
If the Legislature passes a bill allowing people to file complaints alleging the mascots promote discrimination or stereotyping, more than 30 Wisconsin schools may be changing their mascots. If it's signed into law, school districts that fail to stop using mascots found to promote discrimination would face monetary penalties.
