2015, May 8th - School votes to continue using racism imagery and name

SKOWHEGAN, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- The next time a Skowhegan Area High School sports team takes to the field, the court or the track, they will do so as the Indians, just as they have for years.
The School Administrative District 54 school board put to rest a lengthy debate Thursday night; whether or not to change the use of the nickname the "Indians" to identify the high school's sports teams. The board voted 11 to nine, against changing the name.
