Belding school board votes to change Redskins mascot

BELDING — Belding’s longtime mascot is about to become a piece of history.

After months of conversation at school board meetings and special community forums, the Belding Area Schools board voted unanimously to change the mascot from the Redskins and to do away with any Native American associated imagery on Monday evening.

Superintendent Brent Noskey said he understands there are those in the community who are “diehard Redskins” and that “they were never meaning to be offensive with that mascot.”
