Racial slur or point of pride? Why the debate over the Neshaminy ‘Redskins’ persists

For decades, the sports teams in the Neshaminy School District in Bucks County have been called the Redskins.

Now, the issue is in the hands of Pennsylvania’s Human Relations Commission, which could force Neshaminy to stop using the name. On this episode of The Why, WHYY reporter Aaron Moselle joins us to talk about why both sides in this argument can’t seem to hear each other.
