The Pascack Valley Regional High School District stands against racism, fostering an environment where no one is persecuted or marginalized. Our intent is to educate our district community on the mutual contributions of all races, genders, religions, and cultures accepting, respecting, and learning from one another.
In the coming year, we look forward to soliciting the input of students, staff, and community members as we work to identify new mascots that will promote the values of the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. We applaud the efforts of our entire district community in working to bring us closer to this goal and we are committed to continuing this work.
‘Pascack’ is an Indian word so that should be changed too
the name change represents an absolute lack of historical knowledge
The cancel culture continues… get a hobby
Once again James, you’re on the wrong side of history. Seems to be an unbreakable cycle for you. At least the “big in municipal affairs” mafia loves you because of your unquestioning and favorable coverage of their coven; at least you’ve got that going for you.
The thing that scares me more than the high number of imbeciles in this country who wake up one morning and feel like they don’t like a statue or a word or parts of history and decide to start a war through social media or in the street is the lack of law and order. Police can barely defend a statue or a public institution being attacked by a bunch of kids, most of the time the small crowds have no problem toppling anything they want, nobody gets punished in the name of law after causing damage to public property, politicians inciting hate against institutions, police being seen as the enemy, schools changing long held names, corporations changing product names overnight, the opposition by either politicians or population against the extreme ideas and actions is very weak or non existent, people are scared to voice opposition because the slightest disapproval in social media will surely get them fired from work and ruin their lives. The level of madness is incredible and most of it is triggered by the extreme hate toward their own president. I immigrated here more than 25 yrs ago from Europe to the land of the free. I wish I never did. There is no difference between the persecution during communism in eastern Europe and what’s happening here. In fact here it is much worse because your life can instantly get ruined by the wrong post on social media. Your colleagues and “friends” can instantly hate you with no mercy you for the “wrong” opinion or expression. Terrible and tragic.
You just got cancelled troll.
Ridiculous!!! All looking to appease the protesters. Let’s get rolling and put a stop to them. Enough is enough

This is a joke, right? No difference between getting sent to a gulag or getting shot against a wall vs. people being mean to you because you posted something on social media?
This would be funny if it weren’t so damn sad.
“There is no difference between the persecution during communism in eastern Europe and what’s happening here”….
Care to rethink your comparison? This one is unfortunate and wrong.
It’s like saying, “there’s no difference between the heroin epidemic in Glen Rock and the quaint marijuana bust in Ridgewood”. Or saying, “there’s no difference between destroying the bald eagle habitat at Schedler and burning the flag”. Or, “there’s no difference between wearing a mask to prevent airborne transmission of the new Coronavirus and obeying the devil’s laws.”
Either you are from Florida or you should be forced to move there.
wow , what a stupid pompous comment, did your mother drop you when you were a baby ???
Pascack Valley Chipmunks
Pascack Hills Voyotes
Now aren’t those safe nicknames ?
Victoria Karen Burpee, sounds like an Aronsohn butt boy
The PH boys are named Cowboys, and the girls teams are referred to as the Cowgirls, so why is this a problem?
All you who refer to gulags know nothing about communism. You have only heard of it but never lived it. Anyway to be sent to “gulags” there was a process. You would still be prosecuted, go in front of a court and then punished which varied from being advised to be careful, being stripped of your job and sent to a lesser position or end up in prison for a long time. The difference is that here and now you are not provided a process, you are judged and punished instantly in the court of social media and the hordes for just a word of mouth. Back then you could whisper your disapproval of the regime with your friends and if one of them ratted you out you could be in trouble but here you are given a sentence right away. If one can have his life and reputation ruined this way it won’t be too late before the “gulags” you refer to can become a reality. Joke and insult all you want but persecuting people in such a way is typical marxist-leninist. Too bad that you can’t see it. One good thing about communism though was that one would not even dare to think to touch public property and destroy it.
“The white men of the South were aroused by the mere instinct of self-preservation to rid themselves, by fair means or foul, of the intolerable burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant negroes and conducted in the interest of adventurers.” – Woodrow Wilson, former US President, NJ Governor and President of Princeton University
Just for argument’s sake, can anyone PLEASE make a cogent argument as to just how the Cowboys among us are being persecuted And are suffering assaults on self esteem? I missed that class at the Hills. I have yet to see a well made argument for either point of view.
