It’s time to originate a new joke: “What do you call 10,000 statists at the bottom of the sea?
A good start.”
What prompts me to quip about this watery solution is the latest bit of lunacy from the Tolerance and Diversity Nazis: Wisconsin education officials have ordered Berlin High School near Milwaukee to change its nickname from the “Indians.” The problem, found the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), is that the name is race-based.
The first reaction should be, “So what?” But more on that in a moment.
The Chicago Tribune reports that this move was instigated by a complaint from a Berlin HS alumnus.
That’s right, one complaint.
Talk about the squeaky (and one-screw-loose) wheel getting the grease.

Unlike this pansy
>>>“Bucks” might be considered offensive;)<<<
Reminds me of the Indian girl whose tribal name was Ninety-Nine Cents because she was always under a buck!
It appears that these interfering officious twits don’t understand that we name our sports teams for things we ADMIRE, like lions, bears, braves, etc. There isn’t a team called “The Weasels”, or “Algal Mats”, or “Blowflies”.
ONE complaint, from ONE loser, and the school is asked to change its history?
Orwell and Huxley described utopias, not the dystopia we seem to be stumbling toward.
I often wondered why the Braves left Milwaukee for Atlanta. Know I know...
Do you know that a Science Fiction writer once accused Larry Niven of stealing his ideas before he had a chance to think them?
Well Niven's done it to you too. Throwaway mention to Berlin Nazis football team in "Bordered in Black" in Inconstant Moon (coll. 1974)
The Seminole tribe told the PC people to f—k themselves in no uncertain terms when they tried to force Florida State to change its name.
They should change their name from ‘Indians’ to ‘Pakistanis’.
The proper name would be THE CHINESE.
The Indians are the true Vanishing American. Soon the Statists will remove their names from everything and in a few hundred years they will be around but completely forgotten, erased from history.
When Montgomery Alabama got a baseball team, they didn’t take any chances of any controversy. They named the team the Biscuits. How dumb is that ?
I like Southpark’s take on team names where every team is the “Roughriders”.
“Boy, these Roughriders sure are having a tough time handling the Roughriders.”
How many “indians” were involved with this decision?
Well, the FSU Seminoles name that got voted down was the “Crackers”
Now THAT’s a name.
I’m really looking forward to the 101st running of the Nativeamericanapolis 500 from the beautiful Nativeamericanapolis Motor Speedway in the heart of Nativeamericanapolis, Nativeamericana
I hope Jim Nabors will be singing “Back Home Again in Nativeamericana.
Just one time, I’d like to see them send a letter that says, “Dear Education Nazis:
Go to hell.
Respectfully,
....”

So are most Pittsburgh Steelers fans.............
I am offended by ‘Redskins’.......and ‘Eagles’ and ‘Giants’...............
My local HS team is The Choctawhatchee HS Indians, aka Big Green Indians......
