News » State holds hearing on mascot law
July 30, 2010
If some state officials get their way, school districts that have Native American nicknames would have to prove that they're not discriminatory.
The department of public instruction now has the authority to order a change, if someone complains about a specific nickname.
Barbara Munson of the Wisconsin Indian Education Association says the officials should provide guidance to communities that are dealing with the issue.
Munson testified at a public hearing on the new law yesterday in Madison.
There are 35 districts in the state with Native American nicknames. |
