[edit]What happened to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Boitano ? Didn't he go to Fremont High School?
- According to Brian Boitano (and its cited links), he went to Peterson High School. Is that not correct? --Hansnesse 03:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Who are these American Indians you speak of?
[edit]In the history section of this article, there is mention that the school's mascot was changed "at the request of American Indians". That claim is patently nonsense. For starts, the racial description is "Native American". And if you are having trouble seeing why the claim is nonsense try substituting "Black" or "White" for "American Indian". Makes no sense at all. Gtwfan52 (talk) 07:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
More to the point, there are no generic Native Americans. There are specific people, organizations, tribes etc. The proper way to phrase this would after <insertName>, of Navajo heirtage, filed a complain or in response to a complaints filed by the president of the Navajo Nation, <insertName>...

Fremont the most diverse in the FUHSD? According to whom?
[edit]In the student enrollment section, it was previously written that Fremont is the most diverse school in the district and that this makes it unique among the other schools in the district. It was also written, that the other schools in the district are comprised of mainly White and Asian students. I removed these statements from the article for several reasons. First off, there were no citations to back up these statements. Secondly, these statements are subjective. How does one define diversity? Some might make the argument that other schools in the district, like Homestead or Lynbrook, are more diverse. And even that assertion would be up for debate. Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written based on objectivity, not subjectivity. Thus, calling Fremont "unique" among the other high schools, based upon the argument that it's more diverse (which cannot be definitively, objectively confirmed) is subjective. Thirdly, those statements make that section, and possibly the whole article itself, look like an advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nogoodnamesleft426 (talk • contribs) 00:03, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
