    It’s no secret how President Donald Trump feels about sports teams turning away from Native American mascots. He’s repeatedly called for the return of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians claiming their recent rebrands were part of a “woke” agenda designed to erase history. But one surprising team has really gotten the president’s attention: the Massapequa Chiefs. The Long Island school district has refused to change its logo and name under a mandate from New York state banning schools from using team mascots appropriating Indigenous culture. Schools were given two years to rebrand but Massapequa is the lone holdout having missed the June 30 deadline to debut a new logo. kra39 cc The district lost an initial lawsuit it filed against the state but now has the federal government on its side. In May Trump’s Department of Education intervened on the district’s behalf claiming the state’s mascot ban is itself discriminatory. Massapequa’s Chiefs logo — an American Indian wearing a yellow feathered headdress — is expected to still be prominently displayed when the fall sports season kicks off soon putting the quiet Long Island hamlet at the center of a political firestorm. kra35 cc The district is now a key “battleground” said Oliver Roberts a Massapequa alum and the lawyer representing the school board in its fresh lawsuit against New York claiming that the ban is unconstitutional and discriminatory. The Trump administration claims New York’s mascot ban violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits recipients of federal funds from engaging in discriminatory behavior based on race color or national origin — teeing up a potentially precedent-setting fight. The intervention on behalf of Massapequa follows a pattern for a White House that has aggressively applied civil rights protections to police “reverse discrimination” and coerced schools and universities into policy concessions by withholding federal funds. “Our goal is to assist nationally” Roberts said. “It’s us putting forward our time and effort to try and assist with this national movement and push back against the woke bureaucrats trying to cancel our country’s history and tradition.” kra40 at https://kra-40at.ru

    What were covering • Zelensky in Washington: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Washington DC where he will be joined by key European leaders when he meets with Donald Trump this afternoon. Trump says Zelensky must agree to some of Russia’s conditions — including that Ukraine cede Crimea and agree never to join NATO — for the war to end. kra13 at • Potential security guarantees: At last week’s summit with Trump President Vladimir Putin agreed to allow security guarantees for Ukraine and made concessions on “land swaps” as part of a potential peace deal US envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN. Zelensky suggested that such guarantees would need to be stronger than those that “didn’t work” in the past. Russia has yet to mention such agreements. kra16 at • Change in tactics: Trump is now focused on securing a peace deal without pursuing a ceasefire due to his progress with Putin Witkoff said. In seeking this deal Trump has backed away from his threat of new sanctions on Moscow despite calls to impose more economic pressure. kra19 at https://kra16-at.com
