Quick mascot facts on the State of New Jersey:

In 1997-98 Lenape High School in Medford was the site of a divisive mascot controversy.

An American Indian Movement support group began efforts to address the issue with the State Education Department  in 1998.

Though initially reluctant to change its "Redsk*ns" nickname even after being asked to do so by American Indian parents,  following further consideration Parsippany High School wisely elected to retire its egregious moniker.
