Do not retire the Toms River South Indian

The Issue

Old Indian Tom has been our mascot for many years and that tradition should NOT be changed. Never was he a target for racism towards the Native Americans. He is a symbol of America, the first people that were here before the pirate Christopher Columbus turned them all into slaves. The Indian is a representative of everything good in our country. He's the best representative of our school, and I am not going to sit idly by and let him be destroyed by people who have taken the Anti-racist agenda way too far. It's time we start fighting back. Keep the pride in the school and keep the mascot. He's not just for entertainment, he represents something greater.
