Kerry Wachter is the President of the Massapequa School Board in Long Island, New York. In the wake of a New York state law requiring the removal of logos related to Indigenous people, Wachter has vocally opposed the mandate, emphasizing the importance of the school's identity tied to its nickname, the Chiefs. He has expressed concerns that changing the name would negatively impact the students and their sense of self. Under his leadership, the school district has taken legal action against the state, arguing that the ban infringes on their First Amendment rights and could lead to significant financial costs associated with rebranding.
