Report Due On Native American Mascots’ Use In Schools

DENVER (AP) — A panel appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper last year is releasing findings on the use of Native American mascots at Colorado high schools.
Commission members, who include tribal members, are releasing their recommendations Monday.
The panel’s goal was to find common ground on the use of mascots that are considered derogatory by many Native Americans.
Colorado’s legislature failed to pass a bill last year that would have required tribal approval for public schools
