In a closed meeting that lasted until around 8:30 p.m. Monday, members of the Port Neches-Groves ISD board of trustees heard from a 2010 PN-G alum of Cherokee descent who is part of a broad movement seeking to have the district’s Indian Spirit mascot removed.

The district denied the request to change the mascot, but agreed to keep the conversation going, according to the former student.

1. Rather intersex mascot for big burly male football fans to enjoy. Latent desires?

2. I'm seeing Mardi Gras influence...This district is on the coast right next to Louisiana

3. That's the look the D.C. Horn Boy was going for at the riots last week.

Don't pass that on to that school board---they'll keep that mascot for the next 20 years if you do.....
