ISSUE 12, VOL. 3 PAGE 1 OF 3 NOVEMBER 11, 2016 INSULT OR HONOR (OR HYPE) By Derek Johnson, History/Social Science Department Instructional Coach o team or school mascots like the National Football League’s Washington “Redskins,” or The University of Utah’s “Utes” honor D or insult the native cultures on which they are based? U.S. History students have been working to understand the often unpleas- ant relationship the United States has had with Native Americans and, as part of the discussion, they researched the controversy surrounding Indian Mascots. To express and share their authentic thoughts, students wrote letters to Team Owners & General Man- agers, University Presidents, even the Editor of the New York Times. Some argued that yes; Indian mascots signify an offensive, racially insensitive, and insulting use of stereotypical im- agery, which belittles already underserved groups. Others rejected the idea that Indian mascots must necessarily be offensive, citing shared pride and tradition enjoyed through the honoring of native cultures as mascots. The cynics weighed in, too. They suggested that the controversy was non-issue; a media driven inflammation of our racial sensitivities aimed at gaining readers and selling advertising space. What do you think? AVID STUDENTS ARE BUSY By Joanna Vandal, AVID Advisor e would like to thank the Tustin Public Schools Foundation for another suc- W cessful Dino Dash; TPSF helps fund our tutors and we couldn’t run our program without such an incredible partner!

    The National School Safety Center's Report on School Associated Violent Deaths Internet: www.schoolsafety.us E-mail: [email protected] In-House Report of the National School Safety Center 141 Duesenberg Drive, Suite 11 • Westlake Village, CA 91362 • Ph: 805/373-9977 • Fax: 805/373-9277 Dr. Ronald D. Stephens, Executive Director DEFINITION: A school-associated violent death is any homicide, suicide, or weapons-related violent death in the United States in which the fatal injury occurred: 1) on the property of a functioning public, private or parochial elementary or secondary school, Kindergarten through grade 12, (including alternative schools); 2) on the way to or from regular sessions at such a school; 3) while person was attending or was on the way to or from an official school-sponsored event; 4) as an obvious direct result of school incident/s, function/s or activities, whether on or off school bus/vehicle or school property. * Note: Not a scientific survey. Since information is taken from newspaper clipping services, it is possible that not all such clippings have reached the NSSC. SCOPE: Newspaper accounts, on which NSSC bases this report, frequently do not list names and ages of those who are charged with the deaths of others. Such omissions were in some cases because the person charged was a minor. In some instances, persons were killed in drive-by shootings, gang encounters or during melees in which the killer was not identified, and the killers were either never apprehended or were caught days or months after the crime was first reported.
