Why this petition matters

Started by Mark Hickey

Sayre Area School District “educates today’s students for tomorrow’s world.” Tomorrow’s world will not and should not include racist or pejorative terms as mascots. We believe that the Sayre Area School District Administration and Sayre Area School District School Board have an opportunity and responsibility to work with the Sayre Area School District community to facilitate a discussion about possibly changing the current mascot to a mascot that properly reflects the rich cultural heritage of the area.

In an increasingly heated national debate over whether Native Americans should be used as mascots, we implore “the little school with a big heart” to be an example to other school districts with existing harmful mascots to have the courage and conviction to #RetireTheRedskin.
