Arkansas State University fans take note
The Chicago Tribune has a story about the nutty protests by "native American" activists. Darn it, the Indians lose again! (The complainers not the athletes.)
Dances by Chief Illiniwek, the University of Illinois' athletic mascot, do not violate the state's civil rights laws, a divided state appeals court ruled Tuesday.
The Illinois Native American Bar Association filed suit last year against university officials, alleging that the Chief's performances humiliate Native American students and create a hostile environment that dissuades them from attending games or participating in other school activities.
