The Red Wolves are the new mascot for Thornton Fractional South High School in Lansing after a school board vote last night.
LANSING, Ill. -- "Just having something besides TF South on our jerseys, in our gym and around the whole school, it will be a lot better for us," said Caleb Newman, who is a junior and on the basketball team.
"We used to be predominantly Anglo Saxon and then we transitioned to having basically a giant minority population in the school," she said."We live in a time where things are so polarized, it's hard for things not to be looked at through the lens of the culture wars. So there was some, particularly alumni, that was very passionate that this was part of cancel culture," said Jake Gourley, the school's principal.
A taskforce, made up of students and staff, was create to help guide the process of choosing the new mascot. Once they narrowed down the list, they went to the student body for a vote last month. The Red Wolves came out on top."Coaching these last two years we have just been the TF South Football Team or TF South Basketball Team, and students didn't have the pride behind them like when you have a mascot," said Darrion Payne-Bennett, who is a paraprofessional and coach at TF South.
