Washington public schools with Native American-themed team names or mascots have a decision to make now that Gov. Jay Inslee has signed into law a ban on such symbols. The schools have until year s end to find a new mascot or try to win the blessing of a nearby tribe for continued use under an exception.
Inslee on Monday wasted little time signing legislation sent to him last week by the Washington Legislature to phase out inappropriate tribal mascots. This bill will end the disrespectful use of Native American imagery in our public schools, Inslee said at a private signing ceremony streamed from in his office.
