"Education Secretary Linda McMahon has said that protecting the Native American chief mascot of Massapequa High School in Long Island, New York, is a “top priority” for her department. The school has been embroiled in a legal fight over the Massapequa Chiefs name, as has nearby Connetquot over its Thunderbirds name, since 2023 when the New York State Board of Regents banned the use of indigenous names, logos and imagery in public schools and threatened to withdraw state funding from any that did not comply with its ruling.

...President Donald Trump has demanded those names be restored and has recently turned his attention to Massapequa, telling Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Sunday: “I love Massapequa. I’ve heard that name for years. I have a lot of friends in Massapequa… We’ve got to get the name back to the Chiefs.”

Trump added that, in his opinion, it is “demeaning” to Native Americans to lose the Chiefs name, rather than insensitive to keep it."

Nice to see the Dept. of Ed getting back to protecting the civil rights of minorites, even if they're are played by nonminorities as a shallow, sterotypical characticture.

Gotta start somewhere, eh?

How to make America great again: Defend racism with the power of the US government.
 
Thousands upon thousands of complaints and cases are sitting backlogged on desks awaiting review and resolution due to cuts at the DOE. Complaints - from the families of students that are not being able to access their right to FAPE and who are having their education impacted.

But…this clown is worried about a ****ing mascot.



What a injustice to students in this country and reflection on how god damned little this Administration cares about education and academic achievement for American children.
