A lawmaker has drafted legislation to repeal a new state law aimed at eliminating Indian mascots and other race-based team names and logos in Wisconsin public schools.
The law allows residents to file complaints with the school board over the use of offensive nicknames, logos or mascots. The state school superintendent can then order districts to stop using them.
The proposed bill, by State Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, also aims to void all orders issued already by the state superintendent.
