dude. schools are federally funded, that's socialism at work. so are the libraries and the roads to get there. so maybe don't cry SOCIALISM! about changing a publicly funded school mascot.
This is simple. Some traditions are worth celebrating, but our tradition of treating non-white races like they are subhuman or animals is not. Language matters.
ReplySavannah is a place of learning and the mascot is distracting. People of Savannah need to understand that this is racism to move forward.
ReplyThe mascot is an insensitive stereotype of Native Americans. There are many changes that need to be made in regards to insensitivity, racism, harassment and bullying. This is a good place to start
ReplyThe mascot is a racist stereotype that has been used for centuries to justify treating Native Americans as less than human for our convenience. As an alumni, we should do our part to break that cycle.
Replyit is insensitive and prejudiced. We can do better.
ReplyIgnoring the call for change ignores the painful legacy of the savage stereotype and the experiences of local Indigenous families. Savannah deserves a mascot that reflects its inclusiveness & strength
