Trees Are Now Racist: Portland School Delays Vote On ‘Evergreen’ Mascot Over Fears People May Link It To Lynching

Schools are now so fearful of racism allegations that making a tree a mascot is considered a concern because black Americans were once hanged using trees.

In Portland, Oregon, Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School has delayed a vote to adopt an evergreen tree as its mascot because some fear such a mascot would be reminiscent of lynching, the Portland Tribune reported. The school’s current mascot is the Trojans but was set to be changed to evergreens following the suggestion from a committee “comprised of students, staff and community members,” the outlet reported.

“But just before the Portland Public Schools Board of Education’s vote to approve the new mascot Tuesday, March 30, Director Michelle DePass shared community concerns of an unwanted correlation between Ida B. Wells—the historic Black activist, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who documented and crusaded against lynching—and a tree which could conjure up reminders of hanging people with ropes from branches,” the Tribune reported.

DePass asked the mascot committee if they considered any concerns when coming up with the new mascot.

“I think everyone comes with blind spots and I think that might’ve been a really big blind spot,” she said.

Why do parents support their kids being afraid of the world? Why not be brave, bold, and daring?

Saw this on twitter.

Clown world.

I'm pretty sure the only tree you wouldn't use for a lynching would be an evergreen.

pretty sure if trees are racist then paper is racist. pretty sure schools in Portland need to ban paper.

also pretty sure racist policies were signed into law using ink and pens and those also need to be banned by the school district.

Holy fukk who thinks of this chit?

Just live in a gawd damn bubble if you’re afraid of or offended by literally everything.

I think it would be the worst tree to try and lynch anyone from.

Time to ban ropes and cotton clothing

No need to worry about paper being racist as paper is going the way of the dodo bird. However, pretty sure if trees are racist then oxygen is racist.

Although on a side note, who the f*ck has a tree as a mascot anyway?

Why not just outright ban schools because they were a major contributor to segregation and racism in the past? In fact, ban America. Liberal problems solved.
