Arr, ye scallywags from Massachusetts be arguin' over a pair of bills that be aimin' to give the boot to them Native American mascots in high schools!

In the land of Massachusetts, where the lawmakers roam, there be a debate brewin’ like a storm at sea. The talk be about them Native American mascots in high schools, ye see.

They be makin’ a third attempt to force a change in the mascots, logos, and names that be offendin’ different groups. They want to put an end to the denigration of racial, ethnic, gender, and religious groups, me hearties!
Now, ye might be wonderin’ why this be such a big fuss. Well, it be because some folks believe these mascots be perpetuatin’ stereotypes and disrespectin’ the Native American heritage. They argue that it be time for a change, for a more inclusive and respectful way of representin’ our schools and communities.

So, as the legislators gather in the great halls of Massachusetts, they be weighin’ the arguments and considerin’ the impact of these bills. Will the Native American mascots be forever banished from the high schools, or will they continue to sail the seas of tradition?
