State of Wisconsin says school's sports team name - Can not use "Indians"


Wisconsin education officials have ordered a high school to change its sports nickname from the Indians.

An alumnus of Berlin High School north of Milwaukee complained to the state Department of Public Instruction about the use of the nickname. That opened the door to the state ordering the school to change it.

DPI found the nickname is race-based and held a hearing in August. School officials argued that the nickname was not race-based, but the state has denied the school's appeal.

The school district has one year to make the change. Superintendent Bob Eidahl said the district will likely form a committee of students and community members to gather ideas for a new mascot.
