Nevada bans 'racially discriminatory mascots' and 'sundown sirens' that were once used to tell Native Americans to leave town

Connor Perrett Jun 5, 2021, 3:54 PM

• Nevada on Friday banned schools from using "racially discriminatory mascots."

• The new law also bans the use of "sundown sirens," which were once used to kick non-white people out of town, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

• Even after "sundown town" laws were repealed, some places continued to play the evening sirens.
