Ban "Redskins" for school or athletic team name or mascot

Legislative Summary: AB-30: California Racial Mascots Act: This bill would prohibit public schools from using the term Redskins as a school or athletic team name, mascot, or nickname beginning January 1, 2017.

Analysis by EdSource.org: Home to the largest number of American Indians in the country, California is now the first state in the nation to ban the use of "Redskins" as a school team name or mascot. Earlier efforts in 2002 and 2003 were unsuccessful. Many Native Americans and school climate advocates consider "Redskins" a racial slur. In 2013-14, there were 38,616 students identified as American Indian enrolled in California's public schools. Just four California schools continue to use "Redskins" as a team name and mascot.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 25-10-5 on Sep/8/2015; State Sen. Kevin De Leon voted YES; Passed Assembly 60-10-10 on Sep/10/2015; Signed by Governor Jerry Brown on Oct/15/2015
