I thought it was fake at first.
Then I saw it was in Texas and it all started to make sense.
The school has been around for more than 50 years and at no time did anyone think about changing the name? Gene Upshaw actually is their most famous alum.
I understand people at times can go too far with wanting to change some things, but seriously the COTTON PICKERS?
You have to do better than that.
The Mascot is a big thing of cotton and according to the school it is a sense of pride.
“Robstown ISD administration has not received commentary from parents due to neighboring school districts’ mascot controversy. To be a Robstown Cotton Picker exhibits a sense of pride. At this time Robstown ISD will stay focused on student needs as their priority.”
Lord help us all.
