A Superior Court judge in Hartford Friday denied two residents’ request for a temporary injunction that sought to prevent West Hartford’s two public high schools from moving forward with changing their mascots.
Another round of legal proceedings flared up Thursday and Friday after the two West Hartford residents filed another motion seeking a temporary injunction barring Conard and Hall high schools from adopting new mascots until a virtual hearing is held on July 7.
The controversy over renaming the mascots at Hall and Conard high schools took another unexpected turn Monday after two West Hartford residents filed an 11th-hour lawsuit seeking to prevent the Board of Education from moving forward with adopting new mascots at Tuesday night's meeting.
