A Long Island, New York school district is facing a lawsuit from a father and local civil rights leader who claims the school district's new mascot is a symbol of White supremacy.

William King Moss III, Islip Town NAACP President, former mathematics teacher in Brentwood Union Free School District and father of two Brentwood students, filed the complaint against the district on March 26.

Moss's complaint accuses the district of selecting the "Spartans" as their new mascot, despite it being "racially problematic," claiming the ancient Greek warrior is a "symbol of hate" banned by state law. 

His complaint contends that in January 2024, the district began collecting ideas from the community for a new mascot through an online survey. The responses were narrowed down to six options, and the district said it selected the "Spartans" after this choice received the most votes.

Moss argued that the other options chosen, "Green Machine," "Bears," "Owls," "Bulldogs," and "Eagles," were not members of an "identifiable or generally perceived protected class," like the Spartans.

"Spartans are of the identifiable and generally perceived protected classes of White Non-Hispanic in race, White in color, Greek in National Origin, and Spartan or Greek in Ethnicity," the complaint states.

Moss's lawsuit questions the survey's methodology and argues that the district did not act in a democratic manner in selecting the mascot, which was meant to replace its old Native American-themed one that had been banned.

The complaint states that Moss asked the district to conduct another vote. During meetings with the Board of Education last November, Moss warned the district that selecting a mascot that's based on race would prompt a lawsuit.

I'm so sick of liberals claiming racism in everything they see, I may just become racist.

"Wahhh!!!!!  I didn't get what I wanted, so I'm going to sue!!!  I'll just make some sh#t up as the reason!" 

I mean, they LITERALLY used the democratic process to pick the name.

And they want the popular vote to be in place over electoral voting for presidency. 

Well....unless they lose. So not for things like this. 

Liberals just can't get enough of simply saying, "give me what I want or I'll cry".

I hope he sues, and I hope the court fines both HE and his Lawyer for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

No, liberals don't care about this, except the guy who filed the suit and he is doing for publicity purposes only.

You can't speak logic to utilit99. He posts nonsense stories because he literally has nothing to add to the board, or society, or life.

This is newsworthy-that the President is issuing executive orders against law firms that may have done work against him, which include barring them from all federal buildings(like courthouses),  one of the most egregious violations of free speech ever--that gets

Crux of the issue right here.

And then an army of wokies that want a pat on the head will line up to support it.  The irony is they think this is being not racist not realizing being not racist is telling a guy being an idiot he's being an idiot even if he's black.

The Spartans were superior for quite a while. I guess that’s not getting taught.

Everything is a symbol of white supremacy.
