Montrose High School varsity football team memorabilia on display in a trophy case at Montrose High School on Monday morning. He said he called Redhorse and officials with the state Attorney General’s Office on Tuesday and was told that the school could do such things as cover up trophies and other memorabilia that have Thunderbird images, remove banners and have students wear uniforms inside out to conceal Thunderbird images.
He said he was not notified by CCIA of the April 6 discussion. “This puts us between a rock and a hard place - we’re not on the list now but do we start making changes? If we don’t respond now and we get on there we don’t have a lot of time for compliance.” “If you’re going to put us on there this late in the day, give us a little time to make the changes,” said David Crews, superintendent of Sangre de Cristo School District in Mosca, which adopted the Thunderbirds mascot when two San Luis Valley districts merged in 1960. And it’s unclear when they could be removed from the list as CCIA has taken votes to do so only at its quarterly meetings. If any schools are added, it would give them less than two weeks to get rid of any imagery of the mascot, which some say is unreasonably short notice. The May meeting is the last chance this year for the 12 schools still on a list released last summer to be removed. Colorado schools face $25K monthly fine for their “Thunderbird” mascots Close
