Wonder when Nyack High School, across the state line in NY will change their name from the....gasp....INDIANS? Nyack is like SF-upon-the-Hudson, artsy fartsy types who years ago bought and refurbished the crumbling Victorian houses(is “Victorian” racist, too? asking for a friend) along the river. The village has bragging rights for electing the first openly gay mayor of all the towns in the Hudson Valley.

I graduated from Buena N.J. high school in 1975. Home of the Buena Chiefs!

Holy cow. I went to Shawnee High School (Renegades), the kids went to Lenape High School (Indians), played against two other high schools in the regional system - Senaca (Golden Eagles) and Cherokee (Chiefs). There's going to have to be a lot of name changes in that school system if the liberals get their way. (FYI - Burlington County New Jersey schools)

People would just rather give in, and think, they can go back to normal.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/bryan-preston/2020/06/22/video-young-venezuelan-woman-warns-america-where-destroying-statues-leads-n564632

...several steps Venezuela went through on its way from being one of the most prosperous countries in the Americas to a socialist police state ... :

Statues came down because socialist dictator Hugo Chavez wanted the history erased.

He changed street names for the same reason.

He changed the educational curriculum to erase history and substitute his version.

Some movies were banned, presumably for the same reason.

We’ve seen all of these happen in America just in the past few weeks, with statue destruction happening in blue cities and states from coast to coast, as city leaders choose not to defend them. There’s a petition to change the name of Columbus, Ohio because it’s named after explorer Christopher Columbus.

Without Columbus, America would not exist.

“You guys think it can’t happen to you, I’ve heard this so many times,” Rogliani says. “But always be on guard. Never believe something can’t happen to you. You need to guard your country and your society or it will be destroyed.”

She also notes that Cuban exiles tried to warn Venezuelans that they were seeing similar patterns and events they had suffered, but Venezuelans brushed them off saying they knew what freedom is and they would never surrender it.

That sounds familiar too.

The district plans to assign new names at a later date in a "thoughtful and expeditious manner."

Suggestions?
