President Trump has expressed his support for the Massapequa community in their battle to retain their school's team name and logo, 'Chiefs', following a directive from New York State to eliminate Native American imagery. After nearly two years of legal challenges, the Massapequa school board is fighting to maintain the name, which holds historical significance for the area. Trump criticizes the state's order, calling it an affront to the local Native American population and indicating that the name is an integral part of the town's identity.
"I agree with the people in Massapequa, Long Island, who are fighting furiously to keep the Massapequa Chiefs logo on their Teams and School."
"Forcing them to change the name, after all of these years, is ridiculous and, in actuality, an affront to our great Indian population."
