I joined a few of my colleagues at Collinsville High School yesterday for the “Save Our Mascots” Rally! It was a great turnout with plenty of support from the community.
We are fighting back against state overreach from HB3527 & HB1237!! I voted NO to these bills because high school mascot names should be determined by local school boards, not politicians.
HB3527: Requires schools to ban discriminatory disability mascots. This bill directly impacts the Freeburg Midgets.
HB1237: A school board shall prohibit a school from using a native name, logo, or mascot.
