The University of Illinois student government is giving students the opportunity to sell back their clothes featuring the school's “racist” former mascot.
“Help remove outdated and racist imagery from campus!” read a recent Facebook post by the Illinois Student Government, referring to clothing depicting "Chief Illiniwek." “Exchange your former mascot clothing for brand new, official Illinois merchandise at any of the locations listed above, while supplies last!”
The post goes on to state that the student government is “proud to partner” with the Native American and Indigenous Students Organization in the buyback effort.

ReplyDeleteI'm just about out...
Warren took my last pots of it.
So the old mascot and merchandise now has significant value as supply is removed.
