Todays Detroit Free Press says that the decision has been reversed.
Chief Leaford Bearskin,leader of the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma said “I consider it an honor to have the logo in the parade,I give them my blessing,totally”.
Bearskin also send a letter to “Harvey Gunderson,an Osseo,Wis.,resident and president of ‘Religious Americans Against Indian Nicknames and Logos’ and told him to POUND SAND!
Bearskin,in a letter to Gunderson sent on Thursday,said only he and the Chief of the Wyandotte Tribe in Quebec can speak for the Tribe.
“I speak to you personally-Mind your own Business!”
Bearskin wrote.

Personally,the fact that the school would cave initially
on this matter is what torques me.
The spineless drones of the teachers union are to blame for these situations. Also, the so-called “Zero tolerance” policies are brainless.
Lastly,wasn’t “Harvey Gunderson”one of the “Grumpy Old Men”?

“Redskins”

I believe they actually already tried to force them to do that

I was in a conversation with the 'diversity queen' at a major corporation. She was critical of my telling jokes. I asked if I could tell a joke about a rock. She thought for a moment, and said no. Someone might think that the rock was just a substitute for another group.

So grunting is out too. Might be a slur against those who don't understand English.

Ministry of Truth leader? Geez, I’ll bet body parts she’s totally frigid, and I sure as hell don’t want to find out!

Maybe you could carry a book of quotations from Richard Pryor. Whenever you are tempted to tell a joke, just open the book to the appropriate page and share a quote.

That’s awesome news! Do you have a link to that story?

Wonder if at least one person decided to drop band rather than submit to their pc masters? Then again, I suppose that means you fail the class, so it’s not so easy to stand on principle.

[Doomonyou]

I wonder what the incoming commander in CHIEF thinks about this.

[ApplegateRanch]

Were I in charge, I would be tempted to change it to “The Cannibals”.

"You're hot! You're Hot! Don't need a pot-- Eat’m ALIVE! Gut'm, Shuck'm and Eat'm ALIVE! Go Cannibals"

[kenavi]

No more Chief Executive Officers either.

[SunkenCiv]

"How about calling the team, 'The Jihadists'? Just an idea, okay?"

[kenavi]

Mischief...

Handkerchief...

...all out the door too.

Is the city changing its name? Wyandotte is the name of an Indian tribe.
It’s also the name of a city and a county in Oklahoma.

[Larry Lucido]

Maybe they can just use a symbol, like Prince. “The band formerly known as the chiefs.”

Say, is the police chief gonna have to do the same thing?

[Larry Lucido]

Why not change it to “Chefs”?

Um.....

I’m a big fan of that Snickers commercial where the groundskeeper finally realizes he messed up painting the end zone.
