Wauwatosa East Red Raiders

Kudos to the Wauwatosa School Board forp sticking up to the perpetually offended/PC crowd.

Tosa East to keep nickname, change logo The Wauwatosa School Board voted tonight to keep East HighSchool's nickname the Red Raiders, but change its logo - a spear or arrow- after a two-and-a-half hour meeting.

In addition, the board agreed on the recommendation of East Principal Bill Stroud to review the current school curriculum regarding diversity and invite a Native American to speak with classes to enhance students' knowledge about the ethnic group.

This seems like a reasonable compromise.

The spear/arrow logo never made much sense any way. And while I wish they would have kept the old logo, at least keeping the name is a nod to tradition and respectful of alumni.

Too bad the weak-kneed ones at Marquette University couldn't have figured out a similar solution.

Hail Wauwatosa!
