Schools comply with state ban on Native American mascots while some challenge the decision.
The Massapequa School District in New York voted unanimously to comply with the state's ban on Native American mascots, but officials plan to challenge the order in court. The deadline to change logos and names is June 2025, and any district that does not comply could lose state funding. Several other Long Island districts are also affected by the ban, with some already announcing plans to change mascots and logos.
