As a Cowboy’s fan, I agree with the school.....................
Then they should wear Cowboys gear.
More like ‘deeply insulting’ to white liberal elites...
I have Ani Yun Wiya (Cherokee) heritage and I’m not offended except when they beat the Cowboys...;^)
Nevermind "Redskins", soon they will consider "Washington" to be insulting, because he was a slave owner.
Te term “Redskin” was coined by the Plains Indians to distinguish them from the White Man. It was a term of honor. Racists insist it is an insult. More asinine leftist drivel.
All these indian names came about in order to preserve the history of the Indians. None were derogatory. To be called a Warrior was high praise. Other names displayed the same praise. Redskin...it wasn’t derogatory...it was the truth.
Likely 90% of North Bethesda, Maryland voted for Hillary. They’ll excitedly accept this decision as part of their daily virtue signalling. You know? They raise their kids better there.
Oklahoma- The state’s name is from the Choctaw words “okla” and “humma,” meaning “red people.” The Choctaw Nation website says following the trail of tears, it was a Choctaw Chief who suggested the Oklahoma name during treaty negotiations - and he was referring to the people’s skin color.
I’m sure plenty of the students are wearing other team’s jerseys anyways.
Funny how actual American Indians when polled despise this kind of political correctness as a strong majority.
Have red skinned potatoes been banned yet?They’re great for making potato salad. I don’t know if the crazy lefties have ddemanded a name change for them yet.
More like deeply insulting to white liberal elites...
As long as they don’t touch my Chicago Blackhawks.
“A Maryland School is Prohibiting Students From Wearing Redskins Gear, Citing ‘Deeply Insulting’ Name...”
So, I’m not saying this is gay, but Liberace, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, and Obama all approve.
That percentage is too high. Maybe 60% and the rest wrote in Bernie.
