A 16-year-old high school senior whose parents are Indians from Ecuador lost a decision to reinstate her school's Redskins mascot.

Stacey Stahl said she will continue to fight to get the mascot back. She says it can be used as an educational tool that is not offensive to Native Americans.

"They are the people being forgotten, their traditions, their beliefs, and everything about them," she said at a board meeting last night, as reported by The Cincinnati Enquirer . "Let our mascot serve as a reminder."
