Public school teams in New York will soon be barred from calling themselves names like the Warriors, Chiefs, Redmen or Braves following a Tuesday ruling by Albany education honchos.

The Board of Regents, which presides over the state’s education department, voted to phase out Native American-related nicknames as part of a politically correct national effort to scrub racially insensitive imagery from sports teams.

Nearly 60 school districts will be required to “eliminate” all use of Indigenous-related mascots and imagery by the end of the 2024-2025 school year, or risk losing state aide, board members unanimously ruled.

The new ban, supported by the Shinnecock Indian Nation and Oneida Indian Nation, does not apply to tribal schools, education officials said.

“It’s the right thing to do. Our desire is to elevate people, not diminish them. We want to elevate all people,” Regent Kathleen Cashin told The Post over the phone.

I am part Ani Yun Wiya (Cherokee) and I don’t have any problem with using those nicknames and mascots...

I just don’t see what the fuss is all about...

So teams named Warriors should get a na m change to “The Searchers. “ you know that English rock band from the ‘60’s.

Schools don’t have to do it.

But they will because government is threatening to cut off funding if they don’t.

What a lesson to teach kids: how to knuckle under to governmental blackmail.

How about ‘The Fighting Bipocs’?

I think there should be a campaign that teams names and mascots can only be white people. No other race allowed. That would probably have the wokies demanding that teams include other races.

New York is for commies desperate to erase American history.
