Change Jupiter High School’s Racist Mascot


Change Jupiter High School’s Racist Mascot
The Issue
Please join us JHS Warriors, alumni and concerned citizens in demanding that the racially obtuse mascot of the Jupiter High "Warrior" be REMOVED AND REPLACED with a more appropriate figure that doesn't make a mockery of sacred Native American traditions.
I care about this issue, not because I’m personally affected by it, but because I care about the wellbeing of others, especially those affected by this country's oppression. Not to mention, us white people blatantly stole this land from the Native Americans. I graduated from JHS in 2011 and I don't recall learning about that in History class. Therefore, JHS chooses to use the Native feathered headband as a mascot to represent strength and honor. But refuses to teach their history, further oppressing the Natives and their culture.
Jupiter High School must do better and be better.
