A Long Island school’s “Warrior” team name would live on despite the state’s ban on Native American-themed mascots and logos under a new bill aiming to fight “education department overreach. ”  The legislation would exempt the Wantagh Union Free School District from the controversial ban, with the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Steven Rhoads, calling for a vote this legislative session.
