The Foxborough, Massachusetts, school board has recently chosen to cease the use of a Native American man as Foxborough High School's logo in light of claims that the mascot is offensive. Despite the logo phase out, the school's "Warriors" nickname will remain, as reported by The Boston Globe.

The school board's choice has brought forward varied responses from the community, reported on by NBC Boston. A section of the community contends the logo was never designed as an insult, while some argue this change is long overdue. The conversation extends to the wider issue of Native American depictions in American society, including sports teams to maintain and schools.

Despite the logo's phase-out at Foxborough High School, a MassLive article outlines the negligible financial burden of the transference, with predicted costs around $2,000 for numerous items. Current clothes sporting the logo can still be worn by students or parents, though, they will soon stop producing newly branded ones.

State Sen. Jo Comerford has introduced a similar bill, S.294, within the state which aims to eliminate the adoption of Native American associated athletic team names, logos, or mascots by public schools. Studies from 2008 and 2011 indicating that Native American mascots could potentially harm Native youth psychologically, regardless of their apparent neutrality.
