SPRINGFIELD — Illinois House Bill 1237, which proposed banning school mascots and imagery referencing Native American tribes, failed to advance in the Illinois Senate after missing a Friday, May 9, 2025, procedural deadline to move out of committee.

Several area schools, including Collinsville High School, Granite City High School, and Calhoun
