Legislation has been proposed to get several Colorado High Schools who use Indians or Indian-themed mascots to join the PC parade and drop them. Of course a mascot is someone or something that (usually) embodies characteristics desirable in a football team or some such and we certainly wouldn't want anyone to think that a native American might do that, so here's my suggestion:
Any High School who voluntarily drops the name Redskins, Indians, Savages, or whatever and adopts the name "Metrosexuals" will be allowed to impose a mascot of their own choosing on a nonconforming school.
My first High school dropped the Redskins and became simply the Reds. No word as to whether they now have a big bronze statue of Lenin out front but that would probably be too close to the truth for the faculty.
The possibilities boggle the mind.
