Oregon Senate passes bill to create Indian mascot exception
Posted: Thursday, April 18, 2013
The Oregon Senate passed a bill that allows public schools to
keep their Indian mascots as long as a tribe supports it.
Last year, the Oregon Board of
Education voted 5-1 to prohibit schools from using Native
American names, symbols or images as mascots. Affected schools were given
until 2017 to make changes.
Senate
Bill 215 allows schools to keep their mascots if they reach an agreement
with the tribe closest to the school. The bill has been sent to the Oregon House.
