Despite threats from the Trump administration to cut federal funding, New York education officials will maintain their ban on Native American mascots and team names. They may even expand this ban to include other offensive mascots and names from various racial or ethnic groups. The federal Department of Education has found New York's ban discriminatory, as it allows other culturally derived names. New York's legal counsel expressed willingness to negotiate with federal officials to determine appropriate standards while upholding the ban's intent to protect against offensiveness.
New York education officials will not reverse their ban on Native American mascots despite federal pressures, as they explore a broader ban on other offensive team names.
The federal Department of Education found New York's ban discriminatory for allowing other racial derivatives like 'Dutchmen' and 'Huguenots,' violating Title VI rights.
