Nevada lawmakers are considering legislation that would require schools to get rid of racially discriminatory logos and mascots and require officials to push for the renaming of mountains, trails or any other geographic points with racially offensive names. The bill, which is scheduled to have its first hearing Tuesday, March 9, 2021, comes in the wake of a national reckoning over race that s led to school and professional sports teams dropping their mascots.
