Washington Governor Signs Ban On Native American Names, Mascots in Schools
Washington Governor Jay Inslee on Monday signed into law a measure banning Native American-themed team names or mascots at public schools in the state.
Under the new law, Washington schools with mascots, logos, or sports team names such as Chiefs, Braves, or Indians have until this year’s end to either phase out those “inappropriate” symbols or seek approval from the nearest federally recognized tribe.
“This bill will end the disrespectful use of Native American imagery in our public schools,” Inslee, a Democrat, said at a signing ceremony streamed from in his office.
