By MUUSJN on Sunday, May 19th, 2024

From Linda Cypret-Kilbourne, co-founder of Michigan Coalition Against Racism in Sports and Media (MCARSM): The following are the schools we look to change. (2/1/2024) Wayne County Macomb County St.Clair County If your city’s school does not have a racist mascot, but plays another school who has a Native American nickname: go to the school board and ask them to only announce the opponent as the school name and not the Native American nickname. For example, instead of “Here comes the Indians” suggest saying “Here comes Athens”.
