Schools often spend money on things that are only meant to make their students feel better, like pep rallies and school dances. If the students prefer their new mascot, I don’t think this is particularly stupid or wasteful in comparison.
Students don’t always ask for things that they benefit from. If the school improved the bus routes or auditorium and some random student exclaimed “I didn’t ask for this!”, that student would rightly be ignored.
These decisions are best left to parents, not students. And the parents elect the board. Considering how long this has been going on, parents have had plenty of opportunity to elect new board members if this wasn’t what they wanted.
We are perfectly capable of working on more than one thing at a time.
Sure, but this particular thing is stupid and a waste of time and money.

Except this wasnt something the students asked for - it was a unilateral decision by the board
