The New York Board of Regents unanimously supported a ban on indigenous mascots Tuesday, meaning some schools will have to rebrand their image.
A woman plays a drum during a"No Honor in Racism Rally" in front of TCF Bank Stadium before an NFL football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Kansas City Chiefs, on Oct. 18, 2015, in Minneapolis.
Refusal to comply with the rule could impact schools' eligibility for state aid, according to ABC 7 in New York City. The New York Times reported Monday that Mohonasen High School in Schenectady, New York, faced similar calls to retire its"Warriors" mascot along with the synonymous imagery of arrowheads, feathers and American Indians dressed in war bonnets.
More than 20 states have already weighed in on the issue, taking action to restrict use of potentially offensive mascot names, per the report.
