In a memo signed by State Education Department senior deputy commissioner James Baldwin, he warned "districts that continue to utilize Native American team names, logos, and/or imagery without current approval from a recognized tribe must immediately come into compliance," according to a report by WAMC Northeast Public Radio in Albany, N.Y.
