William J. Kemble in The Daily Freeman reports that at the Onteora school district meeting April 5 in Ulster County, Student Government President Raegan Loheide said student government is polling students about changing the school's mascot name, "Indians." “We got comments about how something has to be done and how kids feel that we don’t have school spirit because ... our mascot is disrespectful,” she said, noting some students polled wanted to keep the name. The Freeman reports that the Onteora school board in January 2000 passed a resolution to stop using the Indians nickname and symbol, but voters in May of that year elected a school board that favored keeping the name, so the new board returned the Native American mascot, with residents voting in 2001 1,940 to 1,868 to keep the Indians nickname and symbol. In Greene County, the Coxsackie-Athens school also uses the Indians nickname. Read the full story in The Daily Freeman.
