[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does a principal has that much power that he can unilaterally change the team name? Shouldn’t he at least try to get input from parents, students, and alumni?[/quote] FCPS has said for a while that it’s up to local school administrators to make decisions about mascots (compared to school names) and for Fairfax City to make decisions about the names of the schools owned by Fairfax City, including Lanier. The TJ principal has suggested she will get rid of “Colonials,” although in TJ’s case changing the mascot name and finding a way to admit a few more black kids is starting to seem like a Hail Mary to keep the School Board from shutting down the magnet program there entirely, as many now favor.
