There is no reason a school should be using a racial slur as a mascot for a middle school. They have no justification for the racism other than they have been doing it a long time, and as seen above, their own handbook prohibits even “racist overtones.”
Looking for information to contact the school and let them know how you feel?

Every little bit helps, the people fighting to keep teaching children hate speech are well funded and have national organizations they use to funnel money to their causes. (This website has no affiliation with these funding sources and gets no proceeds from these sales.)
