The law will require schools to change any name, logo, mascot, song or identifier that is 'racially discriminatory' or 'associated with the Confederate States of America or a federally recognized Indian tribe.'

Great idea. How about getting rid of the phrase 'African American' and African heritage museums because of these slave sellers?

If it’s on Reservation land then fine. But they are nations that were invaded and defeated. If this law goes beyond those boundaries then the Governor should be taken to task.

Great! No schools named after Biden or Obama!!!

There are a few towns in northeast Ohio that still use sundown sirens. Looking at you, Vermilion, Ohio. vermilionchambe

This was long overdue

Nice! But it’s absurd this wasn’t done in the 1960s along with Civil Rights treating minorities like they’re human… 🙄

Pardon my ignorance, but I can't understand why having a mascot/school named after Native Americans is ALWAYS seen as a bad thing. It's not all about sports. My jr. h.s. used it to depict a proud people who could not be cowed. Please enlighten me as to why it's always insulting.

America has turned fucking stupid

As an American of both Irish and Scandinavian descent (not to mention Cherokee), I hereby protest against the obviously racist overtones in the names and logos of the Boston Celtics and the Minnesota Vikings.

Fauci, Daszak, Andersen el tried to cover up the true origin of Covid-19 pandemic that killed millions just to protect their positions. They deserve no quarter from the rest of the human race. By funding &defending the CCP lab in Wuhan they have blood of 4m people in their hands.

Cue sad, confused, barely literate whites

Good.

The provision for exceptions shines on the silver state!

Nevada is kinda being super cool lately.

For the record, Nevada was a Union State.

I hope the Chicago black hawks don’t change their name

The South lost the war. They were seditionists. There should have been NO rebel statues erected in the first place.

Man, the white privilige is strong in some of these comments. Those folks need to watch some PBS.

Confused about the indian thing. I'm part native and I'm basically more mad that people wanna take that option away. Like, how is that offensive? NOBODY in a million years will ever complain about names like the 'Vikings' being used in a sports team...

Wow. Were these ppl flying under the radar or what

Well that's just stupid.

This is just another case of Cancel Culture in today’s society and a bunch of scared, intimidated little folks thinking that they’re doing what they’ve been intimidated into doing but no matter what, it’s not. You just can’t erase history whether good or bad. You have to face it!

God Bless Robert E. Lee.

If someone is choosing you as their mascot its a compliment. But we live in a culture where victimhood is celebrated so everyone has to whine.

🤣

soonergrunt Sun...down...Sirens? FFS, white people...why do we still have a fucking sundown siren in 2021?! Can we just act cool for a minute?

Well, the pacifist that attend Notre Dame will be next to throw a piss party

Now racism is getting canceled? What’s next? Fascism?

“Barely passed the Senate” with 57% of the votes! 60% if you don’t count the one who was excused. I’ll take 60% of the vote anytime. WTF?

A gift to TraitorTrump. Oh the mileage he’ll get out of this one. 🤦‍♂️

love the law but seems like a first amendment case ready to be challenged

SofT....

🤣🤣🤣can’t change history....but u can try...think ya r tryin too fuckin hard. SMFH

Good.

I think the elephants are protesting as they feel demeaned being associated with the new Republican Party! The Jackasses however sees a good fit with some of those in the Democratic Party so everything is Ok for now.

Sundown Sirens? Wow, this is way past due.

Just don’t mess with mustang ranch

The Tyrany of Leftism knows no bounds.

Liberals ruin everything

Sundown Towns should be fucking illegal.

'Sundown Sirens', what messed up white power nonsense is this that is still happening? Sundowns WhiteSupremacist

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about GeorgeLinf32 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Why don't I ever hear the Irish complaining about things like this? Oh yeah, the Irish aren't whiny little bitches!

I dunno...a team called the Shermans built around iconography of the burning of the confederacy would be okay in my book.

Cool...racism fixed.

Animals, fictional creatures, weather events (Storm, Avalanche, Hurricanes), machines (Rockets), should be the only sports teams mascots. There are enough to go around. No more humans.

This is racist

Thank god, Notre Dame is in Indiana!

Easy decision.

It’s history, I’d be honoredif someone named a mascot after me

In before FOX dedicates the next week to this.

GOOD!

good
