This bill
prohibits local school administrative units from having or adopting a name,
symbol or image that depicts or refers to a Native American tribe,
individual, custom or tradition as a mascot, nickname, logo or team name of
the school. Because the school board
representing the last public school in Maine that had been using a Native
American mascot voted in early March of this year to stop using the Native
American as a mascot, this bill does not require local units of government to
expend local revenues to comply. |
