Mascot controversy

During the 2009-2010 school year, a Mukwonago High School senior filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction claiming that the Indians mascot and logo were racially discriminatory against Native Americans. The school fought the accusations, but on October 8, 2010, the department stripped the school of the nickname and logo. It called the mascot "unambiguously race-based".
