 http://www.facebook.com/denver.booneIs a cartoon-like college mascot reminiscent 
of Daniel Boone -- right down to the legendary coonskin cap -- 
racist, sexist or otherwise offensive?Officials at the University of Denver 
seem to think so. Theyve announced they wont reinstate Denver Boone, who 
was retired in 1998 as mascot for the UD Pioneers, despite calls 
to bring him back.Boone originally had been replaced by a red-tailed hawk 
named Ruckus but the bird never soared high with the student body 
and was scrapped in 2007, leaving the school without a mascot. Fast 
forward and the school decided to put together a committee last spring 
to determine the new mascot, but Boone was not even considered.Boone was 
a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the 
UD community, but rather was an image that many women, persons of 
color, international students and faculty members found difficult to relate 
to as defining the pioneering spirit, Chancellor Robert Coombe said in a 
March letter to the school community.University officials also claim that 
Boone was not up for consideration because of a consensus by the 
student body that it wanted an entirely new mascot  despite numerous 
Facebook postings to the contrary.It was really about moving forward, Theresa 
Mueller, a spokeswoman for the University of Denver, told FoxNews.com. The 
students wanted a new mascot and didnt want to look towards the 
past.Mueller added that they intend togi
 ously were upset 
by it and knew that it needed to be shared, MaryLynne, 39, 
Stella told FoxNews.com. And awareness is key to change, and so we 
thought it would be a good thing to put it up and 
have people see how disturbing it was.VIDEO: Hate letter aimed at autistic 
teenThe letter demands that Begley take action over her "retarded" son Max. 
The Ontario mother said she had no idea who would send such 
a hateful letter, which left her family shocked and devastated.She tearfully 
told City News: "Who would do this to a child?"The letter goes 
on to criticize Begley for allowing Max to play outside and says: 
"That noise he makes when he is outside is DREADFUL!!!!!!!!!! It scares 
the hell out of my normal children!!!!!!!"The letter also tells Karla that 
she has a "retarded kid" and "should deal with it properly"."What right 
do you have to do this to hard working people!!!!!!!! I HATE 
people like you who believe, just because you have a special needs 
kid, you are entitled to special treatment!!! GOD!!!!!!"The writer finishes 
by demanding the family "go live in a trailer in the woods 
or something with your wild animal kid!!!" and asks the family to 
do the right thing and move or "euthanize him. Either way, we 
are ALL better off!!!"Though MaryLynne said she hasnt seen Max in a 
while, she spoke highly of Max, Karla, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, 
and the entire Begley family.(Max) is just a sweetheart. He loves life, 
and hes a happy boy.
