Originally, the students voted for a progressive name change to "Ravens". A bunch of conservative adults then spent a lot of time and money to get elected to the school board for the sole purpose of changing the name back to "Raiders"; they succeeded, and also succeeded in turning the school board into a political shit-show that has accomplished nothing for the students they were elected to serve. The following year, some new folks got elected to the school board, and now we see the naming decision being punted back to the students, who have wisely chosen to have no mascot at all, because they are sick of the entire embarrassment.

You would be surprised at the amount of fellow peers in my school wanted it to change back to ‘Raiders’. It was like 60%.

Just messing, my point was moron parents have moron kids and if you don’t believe me, sit in the bleachers at the football games. Kids hear how important the Raider name is/was but it only matters to the people that peaked in HS or never left Rutland. Don’t peak in high school

Don’t have to tell me about moron parents. The amount of conservative boys in my school is horrible. I get cat called everyday and nobody does anything. The school is just trash point blank.
