Students at a Maryland private school have been told to leave their Washington Redskins apparel at home when football season kicks off. Neal Brown, head of school at the Green Acres School in North Bethesda, asked parents not to send their children to school with the NFL team's logo or name. "Similarly," Brown's letter continued, "the team’s logo also can reasonably be viewed as racially demeaning. Washington's NFL franchise has been nicknamed the "Redskins" dating back to 1933, when the team was based in Boston. Despite the protests, Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has refused to consider changing the team's nickname.
