I believe that it would be a total waste to change the mascot when the money and time could be used to support our youth

Why did they choose to change it now? We have to spend a lot of money on this.

I was a broiler brave since I was I first grade. I think that we should keep our BRAVE. it's silly to change a something that doesn't need to be changed! You can't erase history! The mascot has been the brave since 1961!!! ONCE A BRAVE, ALWAYS A BRAVE!!!!

Proud EAST BAY HIGH SCHOOL INDIAN!!! Never, NOT ONCE, did we ever disrespect our Brave Spirit mascot. The name alone has power and strength!
To impose this ridiculousness on elementary school age children who most certainly don't harm the image of an indian, brave, chief, etc. is total nonsense.
Aside from that... GUESS WHAT, you CANNOT and SHOULD NOT erase history.... Instead, you should learn from it. Leaving the mascots in place offers opportunities for teaching diversity. If you look at the remarks on many of the posts/pages related to this topic, EVEN PEOPLE OF INDIAN HERITAGE are NOT OFFENDED.... Stop the Insanity and find another place to spend taxpayer money that benefits students!!

As a lifelong resident of Hillsborough County and a proud graduate of East Bay HS (Go Indians). I am appalled un-elected staff would decide to take away our history. This should be debated among elected members (accountable to the people) of the School Board.

Why can’t people realize the history of our country needs to be kept in place. It tells where we were, where we have come to and where God will take us to. Knowing the past is how we learn for the future. There will always be someone offended by the past the here an now and the future. Keep this schools name in place so it’s story can be told

I do not agree with the change of the mascot! The school should be teaching the history of the native Americans. Not trying to erase history. Being partially Native American, I am proud to have my son going to a school named Brooker Braves. This is a silly reason to change the mascot. The school district should be trying to resolve other important issue, rather than spending time and money on this issue.
