I think this is Ridiculous to rename everything and take everything else down (ie.. statutes. ) As a Native American Indian who attended Newton High School I felt Proud that We at NHS was considered THE HOME OF THE BRAVES. I just Pray that they Really Are BRAVE and that they hold their ground and Keep the name. How shameful and humiliating it would be if they Took that away from Us!! Please Stand Tall and Proud and Don't Give In!!! Because a Real BRAVE wouldn't!!
GO BRAVES

Newton Brave ? Racist ? The mascot is an American Indian, what is the problem? We salute the American Indian culture. Please give more details about how this is racism. Not just some crack pot who is comparing Washington Redskins name change. 2 completely different ideologies.

The Brave is a symbol of strength and courage. It is a badge of honor that our kids have displayed for years. It is not offensive or racist and should not be removed.
Leave it alone not our job to rewrite history
