Assembly bill would make Native American mascots harder to remove | The Marquette Tribune: The law would shift the burden of proof from the school districts to those filing complaints and also void rulings against certain school districts that ordered them to drop their Native American team names.
The current law, Act 250, which was adopted in 2010 when Democrats had control of the state government, allows people to file complaints with the state Department of Public Instruction, which leads to hearings. If a hearing occurs now, the school district is forced to prove that its mascots, team names and logos do not promote discrimination, stereotyping or pupil harassment.
