SALEM, Ore. (AP) - A state panel heard strongly negative reviews Tuesday from local school officials about a proposal to ban Indian high school mascots from 15 Oregon schools.
Some Indian leaders consider the use of Indian mascots, logos and team nicknames as offensive. So state school officials are considering a recommendation to force schools to get rid of them by September 2011.
During several hours of testimony, however, officials from those schools argued that there's no evidence that use of such mascots or symbols creates any problem and that it would be costly for districts to remove them.
"We have no data to show that this causes harm," said Lee Paterson, superintendent for the Roseburg School District, where high school teams are called "the Indians."

Culling the internet, here's a few more images of this school and how they teach cultural insensitivity.
2012, May 18th - Rogue River School must retire their nicknames...
The Rogue River School District must retire the Native American nicknames, mascots and logos of its two schools within five years or risk losing state funding, the Oregon Board of Education ordered.
The rule requires 15 high schools, mostly in smaller cities, to erase American Indian mascots from uniforms, sports fields, websites, trophy cases and school stationary by July 1, 2017. Those who are Warriors only have to alter their mascots.
"It is racist. It is harmful. It is shaming. It is dehumanizing," Se-ah-dom Edmo, vice preisdent of the Oregon Indian Education Association, told the board.
Supporters say it honors Native people, evoking values of strength and bravery.

2012, May 22 - Oregon does something amazing!
Banks High School is just one of the schools that now have to change their name, says the Oregon State Board of Education. It has decided that Native American mascots are unacceptable, and by 2017, all Braves, Warriors, and Indians must be changed.
Banks Braves is one of those schools. It's been calling themselves "Braves" for about 85 years now, but the time has come to stop using imagery that "devalues and limited individual identity" (said researcher Stephanie Fryberg) and create a stereotype-free environment for all students.
