text: Back in the 1940s/50s our (Coos Bay)  Marshfield Junior High teams were called  the "Redskins"  and we used stereotypical  terms like tom-toms, wampum, braves, and  squ-ws to refer to them.  We didn't know any better.  Today we do  know much better and there is no reason to keep repeating these racist terms from the past, especially for a team  in our nation's capital..
