(RED STATE) – A college mascot in Florida has been accused of racism, though perennial plants aren’t known for their prejudice.
At the New College of Florida (NCF), a brand-spanking mascot has recently taken root. The school is now represented as the “Mighty Banyans.” It seems sensible that the bad-to-the-bark banyan might serve as an athletic symbol. Yet, one observer is aghast at NCF’s adoption of the triumphant tree. A woman named Robin Williams has expressed her horror in an op-ed for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
For one thing, the teacher and president of the Democratic Public Education Caucus of Manasota decries the violent replacement of a (superior?) emblem. As a side note, Robin might not be a rabid fan of Ron DeSantis.
