...Ms. Novak basically defends the continued use of these mascots simply because the majority of people feel that there is no problem. For example, she mentions that 15 high school students “identified” as Native American said that they had no problem with Native American nicknames. However, it could be that these students were not willing to confront the entire school of white peers on something very controversial.
The above quote is from a CHS high school student, in a letter printed in the Gazette-Times.
She recognizes the effect of peer pressure and how it's related to the mascot issue.
Good for her.
