Belding Area Schools is a school district headquartered in Belding, Michigan. [1]
Previously the district used the " Redskins" as the mascot. Wes Cummings, who served as the athletic director at Belding, stated that Belding's athletic rivals often made derogatory references to killing Native Americans during sports games. [2] In December 2016 the school board voted to remove the "Redskins" as the school district mascot. [3] As of 2017 [update] the district has since decided to change the name and mascot to the Black Knight. [4]
