A commission tapped by Gov. Laura Kelly to probe racial equity in Kansas has recommended schools in the state “review and eliminate” the use of American Indian mascots, nicknames or imagery. The guidance from the Commission on Racial Equity and Justice is voluntary but comes as many schools throughout the state are reevaluating mascots that many consider to be offensive and derogatory. The move wasn’t unexpected, as many members advocated for the recommendation during a recent meeting of the commission dedicated to the subject.
