Political Correctness Gone Amok!

[GMCGeneral]

NYS school districts told they can no longer use Native American symbols or mascots in their school name

If districts fail to comply with the state's directive, schools could be penalized by having school officers removed or state aid withheld.

This is just plain governmental overreach. Most, if not all of these schools have had these names/mascots for decades! We also see it being done to pro sports teams.

In NY?
Fuck em they deserve anything they get.

If I were the school, I'd either just say fine, shove your funding and go it alone or just close the damn place, walk out and screw it. This is what you get when you accept "favors" from Uncle Sam; he never gives a thing without expecting power and control over you instead.

Enemy democrats are removing the native American tribes the same way they are removing women. In the future they are making, the words Navajo or Cherokee will be illegal.

People give their teams names they would be proud of — not insulting names.

Have you heard of teams named the Cockroaches or the Druggies or Pedophiles?

For example a College football team in Florida is named the Florida State Seminoles.

They start their home games with a ceremony called Planting the Spear Watch the video clip below and see if you find anything insulting to the Seminole Indian TrIbe.



FSU has full approval from the Seminole Indian Tribe.

Here's Why Florida State Can Keep Using Chief Osceola & Renegade as Symbols

Florida State University's unique relationship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida sets FSU apart from other offensive teams.

Plus Native Americans do not feel insulted when teams are named after them.

The only people who seem to be offended are you lefty loons. You people can not survive without being in a constant state of manufactured outrage.

I've never personally known an American Indian who called himself/herself a Native American. White liberals do that. Nor have I ever met an Indian who was offended at seeing reference to anything Indian used for town names, school names, team names, et cetera.

I used the Seattle Indian Health Board for medical, dental and spiritual care for many years, starting in 1997, and it's still called the Seattle Indian Health Board, not the Seattle Native American Health Board. Seattle Indian Health Board - For the Love of Native People

White liberals need to mind their own damn business and clean up the shit in their streets.

A good point. Thanks.

Wow, because something unacceptable has been done for decades, that makes it okay, then?

These sport team names were NEVER acceptable.

What standards determine if it is acceptable or unacceptable?

Right schools using Native American symbols and mascots is unacceptable, but drag shows in schools are just fine...GTFOH.

Over $200K being spent on drag queen shows at NYC schools, records show

New York is showering taxpayer funds on a group that sends drag queens into city schools — often without parental knowledge or consent.

If a team name is demeaning to a group of people, it's unacceptable.

In Illinois, the town of Pekin Illinois had a team name of the "Chinks". Because they thought this was perfectly acceptable. (They called their town "Pekin" because they thought it was on the opposite side of the world from Beijing, commonly called Peking at the time. They didn't change the name until 1981

1981: The Pekin Chinks high school team becomes the Pekin Dragons

The town of Pekin, Illinois, just outside the city of Peoria, got its name from its location, which residents believed was on the opposite side of the globe from Pekin (i.e., Peking or Beijing) Chi…

Um, yes, team names demeaning a people who have been subjected to centuries of genocide is unacceptable.

Teaching kids not to be transphobic bigots is just fine. No one is going to be gay because they saw a drag queen once.

Just ask Bugs Bunny

So you don't think adult men dressing as female caricatures is offensive and demeaning to women? Or do you think the oppression women have faced is justified?

Also what does drag have to do with trans? Drag queens are men who dress up as women, not transgenders. Drag Queens becoming the mascots for trans is why they're all called groomers.

With certain names we do.
