Oh my lord...my head just exploded...there isn't enough coffee for this....
This political correctness wackiness is not restricted only to the NCAA and colleges. The Oregon state Board of Education recently ruled that all public schools would have to cease using Native American imagery and nicknames.
Earlier this year, the students' choice of mascot for the Corner Canyon High School was axed by the local school board. Located in suburban Salt Lake City, Corner Canyon is a new school set to open in the fall 2012. Students slated to enroll in the school overwhelmingly voted for "Cougars." However, the board felt the name would be offensive to older women (Cougar is a slang term for older women who are attracted to younger men) and instead gave the school the nickname "Chargers."
