Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, was interviewed by WPIX News about President Donald Trump weighing in on the Massapequa school district’s insistence on keeping its indigenous mascot name (the Chiefs) and emblems.
Levy said that the president’s involvement is related to a hotly contested election for Nassau County executive this fall.
“This is a hot-button issue,” he said, “that President Trump would help his fellow Republicans with.” Massapequa is regarded as a heavily Republican area.
