Oregon Bans Native American Mascots

The state of Oregon has voted to ban all Native American mascots, deeming that such things are racist.

Schools will have five years within which to comply to the new law.

Eight high schools and unknown numbers of middle and elementary schools are affected by the ruling.

Seven other high schools, and an again unclear number of lower schools, which are named 'Warriors' will have to ensure their mascots and logos do not depict any form of Native Americans.

Oregon is in no way going to help with the amount of money that the law will require the schools to spend.

This new law makes Oregon the strictest on such matters.

Wisconsin had previously been, as they required schools to prove that their Indian mascots don't promote discrimination, harassment or stereotyping if someone complains.
