AKRON, Ohio — An Ohio school superintendent says he is updating the district’s anti-discrimination policy to drop the “Orientals” nickname for sports teams. Akron Superintendent David James said East High School will have a new name for its teams when a newly renovated building opens next fall. James is changing the district’s anti-discrimination policy to prohibit the use of any name or symbol that stereotypes groups based on sex, race, ancestry or national origin or that could create a racially hostile or discriminatory environment. The school has used a dragon mascot on football helmets.
oh ok. This was still a team name? I guess still having the Indians is a great example for NE Ohio in general. Note that this is Akron East High School. Classy, Akron.
Oh & that dragon mascot? It’s name is Chang.
