Save the Name & the Logo Sayre Redskins

The Issue

Sayre Area School District, during a global pandemic has come under scrutiny. Their name and mascot is being threatened. The Redskin mascot is a symbol of pride, it represents the strong will and resilience that our teams put forth on the fields and courts. 

Throughout history Native Americans and their history have been swept to the side. Some people or groups want to continue sweeping Native Americans under the rug. By changing the mascot it would just take more away from the Indigenous people. While some find the term "redskin" as a racial slur and offensive, others find it as an honor that a school would use it as their traditional mascot. 

Take the time to sign the petition to keep the Redskin Pride alive!!
