MONDAY, MAY 6, 2002 In an editorial today, The Christian Science Monitor says a California bill banning mascots goes too far because there is no "national consensus" on the issue. Citing a Sports Illustrated poll, The Monitor instead suggests each mascot be handled locally. "Can the biggest state in the union take on the bureaucratic task of defining what's ethnically offensive?" the editorial states. According to some, the bill might indeed be far-reaching. Hundreds of schools, from the Coachella Valley High School Arabs to the Hollywood High School Sheiks, stand to be affected. Get the Story:
