From a Wall Street Journal story by Joseph DeAvila headlined “New York Schools Fight Over Team Names After Native American Mascot Ban”:
When the Canandaigua Academy football team in upstate New York takes the field this fall, they won’t be the Braves for the first time in nearly 75 years.
The Canandaigua City School District is one of dozens in New York that are retiring Native American-inspired team names, mascots and logos after the state education department banned their use.
