Another public school in Wisconsin is getting rid of its Indian mascot, just a few months after a new law went into effect.

A retired teacher filed a complaint against the "Indians" mascot at Kewaunee High School. The Kewaunee School Board was going to fight the complaint but decided to eliminate it on the eve of a hearing.

"Respect for all people — that was my motivation," former teacher Beggs Brown told USA Today. "There's just no refuting that these names harm children."

The new law sets up a process by which a resident of a school district can complain about a mascot, symbol or imagery. The state superintendent would decide whether the usage is offensive.

The law contains an exception for schools that receive permission from a namesake tribe.
