COOKEVILLE, Tennessee This small university town about 80 miles east of Nashville has joined the legion of other municipalities in the U.S. facing the issue of Native mascots used by school sports teams. On a pleasant Saturday afternoon, May 1, several dozen demonstrators led by Chiricahua Apache and Sayota Knight marched from the campus of Tennessee Tech University to the Putnam County Courthouse to hold a rally demanding the removal of the mascot name “redskins” by local Algood Middle School from its football and other athletic teams.
On their way to the courthouse, the marchers chanted, “Hey, hey, ho ho, that racist mascot’s got to go,” “No hate in our state,” and “Change the name.”
To the community’s dismay, it looks like it’s nearing the end of its days.
The Putnam County School Board in February approved a revitalization plan with a 3-2 vote that will eventually downsize the district from 18 to 10 schools, closing some along the way.
Those closures include Jenkins, which was built in 1955. The rest of the plan calls for building or rebuilding facilities across the district over a 10-year span.
Despite pleas from the community at the school board meeting to save Jenkins, or to at least slow down the plan, the district chose to advance with the proposal, leaving many with ties to the school devastated.
