State Urges Against Use Of Native-American Sports Mascots



OLYMPIA, Wash.  (Metro)  -- A repeat recommendation from the state Board of Education is filtering down to school districts around the state.  

It urges them to discontinue use of Native-American mascots.  

The board approved a similar resolution in 1993, but it was largely ignored.  

Both resolutions use the findings of a 2005 American Psychological Association report that says use of Native-American mascots hurts many students.
