Why? Since this is HISD, it's a Houston issue and last I checked, this is a Houston sub-forum.

Sure, it's all funny
I wish I could name a school mascot "Communist" (Which originated in Europe) just to see what everybody would say

Fine with me. The fight song could be The International and the chants/cheers would probably be pretty entertaining too. The coaches could give pep talks about crushing the bourgeoisie and sending the kulaks to work camps in order to get worked up for the big games.

I didn't think I had to clarify this...
but it's not the same having an international airport named after you
than a high school having a goofy clumsy mascot called "Dubya'

Why would anybody feel offended? Are you for real ? This just does not make any sense at all.

If anything, Venezuela would be a shining example of communism.
