This is really sad. As a parent, I question the teachers and professors who have voiced their opposition to the name and logo; NOT because they voice their opinion but the manner in which they do so. These people are teaching our children! I don't want my son/daughter to go to school and be told, 'Whitey screwed you out of California, Arizona, New, Mexico, Texas, etc. Now it's up to you to 'stick it to the man.' This is someone's agenda. My goal in sending my children to school is to complement what they learn at home, be confident in who you are, education is a key to your future, there are many different people out there-learn from them, there may be things that you don't like but you have to find ways to get along/accept and offer solutions to make things better for yourself and others. There are lots more but you get the idea.
These 'educators are negative to the core.
1. They make broad, unsubstantiated allegations and profess them to be the truth.
2. They blame a name and logo for all the negative things that happen to them and others.
3. They state bitter, angry, vengeful things, '..stick it to the man..' as the ultimate goal.
4. They don't offer the opportunity to learn and grow from something they perceive as a negative.
5. They only see one side of an issue. (That can be said of tsome he pro name and logo folks as well.)
6. They don't see compromise as a solution.
There's more but the first hour rush is beginning.
