Governor Scott Walker signs Indian mascot bill into law
MUKWONAGO (WITI) -- Governor Scott Walker signed the controversial Indian mascot bill into law on Thursday, December 19th -- making it easier for schools with Indian mascots to keep them, and harder for people offended by the nicknames to challenge them."When we tell our children that it's okay to stereotype an entire race of people, it's just plain bad educational practice," said Barbara Munson with the Oneida Nation.Walker was conflicted saying he didn't ask for the bill, but signed it because he saw it as a constitutional matter -- stating the previous law infringed on free speech."It's a careful balance between being sympathetic to the tribal leaders I've talked to across the state who have concerns about mascots names, and I've said repeatedly personally if I could do something about it, I'd modify those names and mascots so that they weren't offensive to anybody in this state," said Gov.
