I was the first Student Council President when Mrs. Rita Dugan started the Student Council in 1978-1979. I cannot see changing this name as a necessary thing. Please stop acting so politically correct in everything you view. People need to manage their emotions and not be so offended. Also, from someone who has Native American blood in his heritage, this does not offend me in the least.

There has never been anything derogatory about our little "Brooker Brave". No reason to waste county dollars re-branding when our schools are sorely underfunded as it is.

Two of my kids went to this school when we lived in Brandon. We are a military family. I still have their Brooker Brave magnets on the fridge in the garage and my oldest now 22 has one on her fridge in her apartment. We have fond memories of our times there and they have fond memories of being Brooker Braves.

At what point will this nation grow up. An Indian mascot is more of a positive thing. Kids look up their mascots there is nothing condescending about it.

Please do not change the name. Think about the students past and present instead of yourself.

As the young lady stated, it’s a good, honorable name and not offensive in the least.
It’s also a total WASTE of money that could go to this school, and the many other schools that need attention in your county.
