Where did mCcutcheon's name come from?

McCutcheon Elementary School was named for John T. McCutcheon.  John T. McCutcheon was an American cartoonist in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  His cartoons aimed to celebrate rural life in the American Midwest.  He later served as a war correspondent and a cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune.  In recent years, John T. McCutcheon’s cartoons have been criticized for racially insensitive content.  The McCutcheon Elementary school community is in the process of re-evaluating the usage of his name and whether he is the best representation of our school.
