纽约州拟撤销部分原住民标志禁令 特朗普发帖称「Massapequa 的一大胜利」
华盛顿——纽约州教育委员会（Board of Regents）拟撤销该州2023年原住民标志禁令中的部分条款。美国总统特朗普10月19日在 Truth Social 转发《纽约邮报》的相关报道链接并发帖称：「Massapequa 和 DJT 的一大胜利！」（原文：A big WIN for Massapequa and DJT!）
据《纽约邮报》审阅的法庭文件，州教育委员会「有意废除」2023年禁令中禁止学校官员与教职员工在校园内或学校活动中使用、推广任何原住民名称、标志或吉祥物的条款。州教育厅发言人 JP O'Hare 证实，该厅将建议教育委员会把教职员工着装（包括印有原住民图案的服饰）等事项的决定权交还地方学区，与学区的其他着装和人事决定一致。按法庭文件，教育委员会计划在11月的会议上正式宣布这一部分撤销，并于明年2月进行最终表决。
位于长岛的 Massapequa 学区为保住其「酋长」（Chiefs）队名与标志，已与州政府缠讼多年，并得到特朗普政府的支持。特朗普2025年曾发帖称「MASSAPEQUA 酋长万岁！」（LONG LIVE THE MASSAPEQUA CHIEFS!），并指派教育部长 Linda McMahon 调查该禁令；McMahon 于2025年5月到访 Massapequa 高中后，将民权方面的调查结论移交司法部。该学区没有官方吉祥物，队服上也没有原住民图案，但部分周边商品使用过原住民酋长头像；学区估计，若被迫改名换标，成本接近100万美元。学区与州政府一案的法庭辩论定于11月4日开始。
Massapequa 学区教育委员会主席 Kerry Wachter 对《纽约邮报》说：「经过多年为保住『酋长』而战，我们为这一胜利感到自豪。我们鼓励教育委员会再迈一步，整体废除这项规定。」（GSM 据《纽约邮报》报道与特朗普 Truth Social 原帖）
New York Plans to Drop Part of Its Native American Logo Ban; Trump Posts "A Big WIN for Massapequa"
WASHINGTON — New York's Board of Regents plans to repeal part of the state's 2023 ban on Native American imagery in school names, logos and mascots. President Donald J. Trump shared the New York Post's report on Truth Social on October 19, posting: "A big WIN for Massapequa and DJT!"
According to court documents reviewed by the Post, the Board of Regents "intends to repeal" the section of its 2023 mandate that prohibited school officers and employees from utilizing or promoting any Indigenous name, logo or mascot on campus or at school functions. State Education Department spokesperson JP O'Hare confirmed the department will recommend that decisions on employee clothing, including apparel displaying Indigenous imagery, be left to local school districts, consistent with their authority over other attire and personnel decisions. Court filings show the Regents plan to formally announce the partial repeal at their November meeting, with a final vote in February.
The Massapequa school district on Long Island has fought the ban in court for years to keep its "Chiefs" name and logo, backed by the Trump administration. In 2025, Trump posted "LONG LIVE THE MASSAPEQUA CHIEFS!" and assigned Education Secretary Linda McMahon to investigate the ban; after visiting Massapequa High School in May 2025, she turned civil-rights findings over to the Justice Department. The district has no official mascot and no Native American imagery on team uniforms, though some merchandise has used the head of a Native American chief; it has estimated that rebranding would cost nearly $1 million. Court arguments in the case are set to begin November 4.
"After years of fighting to keep the Chiefs, we're proud of this victory," Massapequa Board of Education President Kerry Wachter told the Post. "We encourage the Board of Regents to take the next step and repeal the regulation in its entirety." (GSM, via the New York Post and President Trump's Truth Social post)
