ANDERSON (AP) — A school district near Cincinnati has decided that its high school sports teams should no longer be known as the Redskins.

The Forest Hills Board of Education voted 4-1 on Thursday to “retire” the name and mascot at Anderson High School.
A new name has not been chosen, and officials plan to soon announce a timeline and process for how a new name and mascot will be selected.
Officials say the Redskins logo will be phased out in stages beginning in the 2020-21 school year.
Anderson Township is an eastern Cincinnati suburb.
Amid the national reckoning with racial injustice, pressure has been mounting on schools to abandon such names.
