Since Lamar students, alumni, school board, et al, did not stand up to Mr. Rodney Ellis and the Anti-Defamation League, and raise a ruckus, Lamar should adopt a little lamb as their mascot, and forever more be called the Lamar Lambs.

My solution is to simply not have a mascot. The aggrieved parties should be happy because the current “offensive” moniker will no longer be in use. The traditionalists can declare partial victory by saying they didn’t cave in and accept a new mascot they really didn’t want.

Unfortunately our academia, newsprint media, television news are all dominated by left wing progressive, liberals. The same type that the majority of voting Americans elected as our president and they will have their way until we remove them from office. Hope and Change; this is it!!!

Are you kidding me? What’s next, the renaming of the Cowboys and the Redskins??? Get real people! The reason why race/ethnic discrimination is alive and well is because of people like you who perpetuate it. Is anyone truly offended by the name of their Mascot? Wow, all of the high school Pirates around the State of Texas better look out, after all, Pirates were murderers and thieves. Really???

I hope we are not the stinkin’ Rangers. I have NEVER been a follower of any Dallas team and I don’t intend to now. Mirabeau Bonaparte Lamar was a President a soldier, and a leader. It is with his spirit that I say I will not support a team that does not signify any team from that town. And remember, YOU voted for these board members and therefore OKed this Superintendent with no inkling of what the alumni wants.
