School districts across the State could be taking efforts to find new mascots if legislation in Springfield passes.

State Representative Dr. Bill Hauter indicates the State legislature is proposing legislation that would force school districts with a minority group of marginalized mascots to be replaced. He calls it a conflict of worldviews.

The Morton Republican calls this not only an unfunded mandate but another example of local control being taken away from schools.

The bill has passed in the House. It is now up to the Senate to pass before heading to Governor Pritzker.
