This is simple. Some traditions are worth celebrating, but our tradition of treating non-white races like they are subhuman or animals is not. Language matters.

Savannah is a place of learning and the mascot is distracting. People of Savannah need to understand that this is racism to move forward.

The mascot is an insensitive stereotype of Native Americans. There are many changes that need to be made in regards to insensitivity, racism, harassment and bullying. This is a good place to start

The mascot is a racist stereotype that has been used for centuries to justify treating Native Americans as less than human for our convenience. As an alumni, we should do our part to break that cycle.

Ignoring the call for change ignores the painful legacy of the savage stereotype and the experiences of local Indigenous families. Savannah deserves a mascot that reflects its inclusiveness & strength

We do need law and order. I can't believe you would pick illegal criminals over the safety of Americans. Gavin Newsom Maxine Waters need to be arrested.

We need law and order in our country. The rioters are violent and most are in this country illegally.

His actions are a heavy-handed intrusion into a very localized event. Moreover, it’s the height of hypocrisy for him to claim he is putting down rebellion. We all remember the Jan. 6 attack in the Capitol and how he pardoned all those who had been convicted.

That is the states responsibility and the federal government should only come when ask.
