Director Michelle DePass shared community concerns of an unwanted correlation between Ida B. Wells—the historic Black activist, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who documented and crusaded against lynching—and a tree which could conjure up reminders of hanging people with ropes from branches.
In February, a mascot survey was sent to students and staff. They submitted 420 different nominations, said Ellen Whatmore, a teacher at Ida B. Wells who served on the committee to find a new name and mascot. The massive list of potential mascots was narrowed down to just five, with the evergreen tree being the frontrunner.
What the heck? Do they want people to go on a mass defoliating campaign so snowflakes don't see trees anymore?
Furthermore, an evergreen is a terrible tree to try to suspend something heavy on. Branches are too short and not nearly strong enough. Even a simple glance will tell you that something like an oak is much better for that purpose.
I mean, most of the west coast catches on fire because the hippie faggots that live there refuse to let the fire department and forestry preserve groups do controlled burns to prevent the gigantic infernos that keep destroying hundreds of acres of dried up kindling and historic (and modern) logging towns, so they're already halfway there to destroying it all, anyway. We just need a few more kids "lighting fireworks" per year, and we can turn it all into a completely desertified mountain range.
Trees are racist!
Trees that won a SURVEY from staff and students.
So it was the majority decision too.
Every time I think I've seen the end of their crazy, they come in and totally one-up themselves.

Down with the motherfucking rainforest.
Lmao the only thing dumber than having a tree mascot calling a tree mascot racist.
I've got the perfect mascot for them: the Mormon Fritillary. It's a special butterfly that can change its sex from male to female.
