Controversy
Village President Tyler Evans attended the Capitol Riot and violent insurrection in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021. Evans wrongly accused the media of lying about the violence online afterward. Evans admitted to public urination on Capital grounds. He later issued a statement apologizing for his comments and condemning the violence at the Capitol. The Thomasboro Grade School "Indian" mascot propagates a harmful stereotype. On January 18, 2022, the Thomasboro school board voted 4-3 to retain the nickname. School board president, William Wilken and board members Derek Wolken, Thomas Henkelman, and Matt Bartell were each in favor of keeping the "Indian" mascot name. Several Native American groups submitted letters encouraging the board to retire the derogatory nickname.References
