“Town Has Reservations”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-10-06-kewaunee-school-mascot_N.htm

Students in a small Wisconsin town are getting new name for their high school’s team mascot, formerly the Indians. Town residents elected to change the name and logo to something that didn’t reflect an offensive racial stereotype. The teams’ new name will be the Savage Native Americans.

Suspiciously, a certain group wants the town to retain the old name. That group is made up of the town’s veterinarians, IT experts, and convenience store owners.
