Obama's daughters school bans Washington Redskin apparel

[jericho]

I wonder if the ban also applies to Atlanta Braves, Seminoles, Cleveland Indians.

I'm guessing no.

Private school can pretty much do what they want along these lines.

I understand, but my guess is they have very few students wanting to wear those shirts and if they do they will be banned. I bet they are consistent.

Seminoles is a tribe of Indian people. Braves is a word for an Indian warrior. Indians, is well, self-explanatory.

 

Redskins is a derogatory term for Native Americans.

 

It's not difficult to see they aren't being inconsistent.

Not to be a turd in the punch bowl here, but why is a thread on the Obama daughters' high school in the NFL forum?

Because the politics forum is not to be used?! Most likely because the Washington Redskins are an NFL team.

Yes

 

I think they are only doing the ban based on whose daddy is President and disagrees.

 

If they want consistency, then ban every team in sports.

What if a kid wore a shirt and it said I'm for that team in Wash that plays pro football.

Would it be banned?

[oldgrappler]

redskins is not derogatory to many Native Americans. I think it is mostly a negative term to elites who are not Native Americans.

 

But hey, it's no skin off my teeth, which would be mostly yellow (and no offense intended to any Asians on the forum).

The better question is why is it a thread period...

 

But we know the answer to that.
