Savage Country VII: While Tulsa Union High School enjoyed a thrilling victory over Broken Arrow in the 2011 6A High School Playoffs, the fact remains that citizens, students, and faculty must endure the embarrassing racist epithet of Redskin, and stereotypical American Indian imagery to represent their team. What a shame the school district can not really enjoy the win that resulted from tremendous hard work on the part of the team, coaches, parents, band, cheer squads, boosters, and fans. No matter what, the school is still stuck with a racist mascot, ossified in their stubbornness that predates Native Americans being citizens of the United States,not to mention the entire Civil Rights Movement. Come on Union, it's the 21st century!

Quotes from the January 30, 2009 press conference in support of OK Senate Bill 765, which seeks to eliminate the use of savages and redskins as sports team mascot names in Oklahoma public schools, and further raise awareness about the misuse of American Indian imagery as sports mascots.
