I disagree because the people that want that mascot to respect and honor the community past, should be able to.

Another reason why cultural mascots should be accepted is because it is a tribute to the past. They are respecting the past and remembering the people that came before them. So why would that be offensive if they are just respecting the past.

The next reason why cultural mascots should not be a problem is that they are showing a sign of respect. Many people believe that the mascots are honoring the native American culture. One man from a tribe that they named their school after said he was honored that they used his name. So the members of the tribe are honored and happy that they used his name, not offend.

You might say that they should not be aloud because it is stereotypical, but I disagree I think that we should be able to have them because a mascot has it's own background and traditions. So that would make their mascot very special and sentimental to their school. We are a native american community said 1,200 people of Market.

I think that people should not have to change their cultural mascots because it reflects their community, It is a sign of respect, and It is a tribute to the past.
