Keeping mascot a good decision

To the editor:

As a former Seacoast area resident, I was happy to read that they voted to keep the Red Raiders symbol and mascot.

When it comes to making hard decisions
on complex and emotionally volatile issues
like this one, outcomes cannot fairly be dependent
only on the same process that’s used to choose
a prom queen and is why those in a position of
authority are charged with the responsibility of
protecting those who stand to suffer at the hands
of larger and more powerful groups.
