The vote was prompted by Cooperstown Central School students who found it offensive to American Indians.<br /><br />Cooperstown is best known as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. But it was also the hometown of Cooper, who wrote "The Last of the Mohicans" and whose father settled the town.</i>Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-28368661991122889012013-03-07T10:05:12.675-06:002013-03-07T10:05:12.675-06:00Michigan's use of the name "Wolverines&qu...Michigan's use of the name "Wolverines" slanders a perfectly respectable member of the weasel family. :^)<br /><br />(and Oakland slanders perfectly respectable pirates.......)Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.com
