🧑‍🤝‍🧑Mascot: "Marion Indians"

The Marion Indians mascot has an interesting history, even though it's no longer in use. Until the 2020-21 school year, the Marion Independent School District in Iowa used the Indians as their mascot. However, the school board decided to change it because they felt using the term "Indians" was no longer appropriate [ ICON_shield ]. This decision was part of a broader movement to respect and acknowledge the sensitivity around Native American mascots. The school has since moved on to a new mascot, but the history of the Indians mascot is still a part of their story [ ICON_book ]. It's a reminder that mascots can have significant meaning and impact, and changes can be made to ensure everyone feels respected and included.
