Redskins haters: Butt out

I would like to have the group, or whomever it is, that is trying to throw out the Redskins mascot for the schools to go somewhere and find something to do that is productive and stay out of our school history. I do not believe there has been one single Redskin harm anyone in the group, so I do not know why they are sticking their noses in our business, since we have been Redskins for the last 95 or so years.

We are not destructive nor do we get in peoples’ faces, but we are a very proud people, and we love our Redskins name. We have marched in the inaugural parade for the president; we have gone to band reviews and won awards, and we will be Redskins till the day we die, whether they like it or not. They cannot take that away from us Redskins.

Get your nose out of our business.

Barbara Jordan, Tulare
