Mascots

            Do you remember when you went to your school football games and seen the schools mascots. Well how would you like it if the board of education said you were humiliating someone's cultural? The only way to fix it is to get rid of the mascot that has been symbolizing your school for the last thirty years or so. You would not like it and many students that are in high school with Indian mascots are going through this.
             Many schools such as Fallbrook also know as the warriors, the El Cajon valley high braves are some of the schools that are some of the high schools that legislation wants to abolish the mascots. The legislation is saying that high school mascots that symbol American Indians are making fun of there cultural. I personally don't see what can offend them as me being part Indian don't see anything wrong with it.
             Mascots are a high school must but what would you do if your teachers said you are making fun of Indians because you are the Fallbrook warriors. Well I would want to know why? Many students are probably not aware of him or her making someone's cultural. I don't think they should be saying they are "humiliating Indian cultural". .
             As a student I think that many things are wrong with this. First off-instead of changing the school's mascots because they are "humiliating Indians" they should educate the students on were there mascots are from and study the cultural. As for me I don't think they are offending at all. .
             Mascots are a necessary in high school it's a way to have fun and get away form classes. Different mascots are better then just one because if we all had the same school mascot it would not be as much fun. As for the schools that have Indians as there mascots don't make it "humiliating" they make it honorable. If you ask me I think the legislation should educate their students or their mascots and not waste the money and change them.
