An East Bay school’s decision to change its mascot is sparking big debate, and some outrage, among people in Contra Costa County.
At nearby Ygnacio Valley High School, the Indian Warrior mascot is no longer on the school signs.Though the old, and some say culturally-insensitive symbol, is still on some paperwork that will be replaced soon.
Superintendent Dr. Adam Clark says about seven years ago, the state directed schools to replace Native American mascots, and last year the district board voted to replace any human mascots to non-human mascots. “I think students want to move to something just a little bit more peaceful and a little bit more reflective of them and something they can relate to,” he said.Until then, the debate continues and the Minuteman stands at attention at Concord High.
