MWF 10 AM I think that legislation would set a bad precedent for government control of freedom of speech issues. That being said, I think it is very sad that legislation has to be considered in deterring Indian mascots. I am not Indian, but I have always found Indian mascots to be offensive. The fact that schools are close-minded to solutions based on tradition and how things were in the past is upsetting.

MWF 9:00---I believe that Indian mascots are offensive, but I think passing legislation to get rid of Indian mascots would just cause more anger and frustration to those parties who are fully against it. I don't believe legislation is the right away to solve this issue!
For the most part, we have the right to say, do, think what we want in this country, and for the most part that is good. I don't think ANYONE wins when we confuse legality with morality.

MWF 10am, I agree that indian mascots are offensive. I am croatian, and irish, im not offended when I see the fighting irish or leprechauns. That being said, Indians mascots seems to be overly dramatized and offensive.
MWF 10:00
I agree with Caleb Chvala in that I really don't like the idea of the government passing legislation to ban such a thing. I don't find those mascots all that offensive personally, because I don't have any background in the area. However, I can see how they could and would be offensive to those who come from an Indian background. Hence, I think the schools should stop, but the government should definitely not get involved.
Forcing people to do something won't allow them see to the reason for the change.

That's the only way that they would get schools to change.

I never understood the outrage w/using American Indians as mascots. You generally pick a certain animal or person as a mascot because you admire and want to have the qualities of that mascot (although I don't know why someone would want to be, for example, a Benson Bunny), so I don't think it's being disrespectful to choose a "indians" or a certain tribe for a mascot. If anything, I think it's complimentary in most cases.

I also do not support the legislation. Like the author states, I feel that education will make a more meaningful difference. Additionally, I think that we will be opening a flood gate for the PC crowed to try and pass legislation on every little thing that could possibly be found offensive by anyone, wasting time and tax dollars. This type of legislation is already running amok in our government, and we do not need to add to it. Someone is always going to feel offended. We do not have the capability to legislate all offensive material out of existence.

i think legislation should be passed to ban schools from using indians as mascots. though schools may argue they have a constitutional right to have such mascots under the guise of "free speech," i disagree. in my opinion, the use of an indian, or any other cultural or ethnic group, as a mascot constitutes "fighting words" which are not subject to free speech protections.

MWF 10 A.M. Naive American Studies... Although it is impossible to legislate morality, it is incumbent upon society to deal with issues that pertain to the greater good. The outlawing of slavery is one example of this. Although legislation abolishing slavery was met with great resistance ultimately leading to civil war, few today will argue against these words, "all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty. and the pursuit of happiness." Although I believe that any person has the right to their opinion, sometimes actions are required to awaken the public to injustices in our midst. I think that legislation banning the use of Indian mascots will continue to face resistance, however, I think if implemented, it will raise awareness. Indian mascots are terribly disrespectful and an insult. In the same way that racial slurs are offensive to people of different ethnic groups, this is offensive to many. While we cannot pass laws to prevent people from using racial slurs, we can and should diligently work to ensure that the public education system is not a partner and enabler of bigotry. It is our duty as citizens to fight injustice whenever we see it raise its ugly head. Bravo Wisconsin!

I know that being white, this situation does not pertain to me, but I feel it isn't proper to have Indian Mascots. People could say that Indians should be happy they are being represented in the community, but I feel that it has become too much of an issue in maintaining a genuine idea of a culture or group.

The use of Indian mascots is not derogatory; even if it was, any attempt to legislate political correctness would be misguided and further erode basic rights. Mark Van Weelden SEEMED to make valid points, until you note that he doesn't know his history; he would do well to find out when the Americal civil war started (perhaps a Google search?), and when President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation - and he would do well to note that the Proclamation applied ONLY to the states that were in rebellion, and did not free slaves in West Virginia, Kentucky, and/or Maryland. People who don't know how we got here shouldn't be trying to guide us into the future!
