Pennsylvania School Board Reinstates Controversial Native American Logo

Newly Elected Members Lead Charge Against 'Cancel Culture', Sparking Mixed Reactions in the Community

  • The Southern York County School District board in Pennsylvania voted 7-2 to reinstate the Native American warrior head logo that was removed in 2021.
  • Five of the seven board members who voted in favor of the logo were elected in November 2023, following community backlash against the logo's removal.
  • Native American activist and historian Andre Billeaudeuax described the vote as a significant moment in the fight against 'cancel culture'.
  • Jennifer Henkel, one of the newly elected board members, stated that the movement to remove the logo was an attempt to erase Native American culture.
  • Despite the board's decision, some community members, including Native American parent Katy Isennock, expressed opposition to the logo's reinstatement.
