“Will the Audubon Society have to change their name?”

I read a few months ago that they are working on maybe just that.

Back in the ‘70’s there was a parody of this kind of insanity.
I heard this on the Dr. Demento show. A fellow was performing “Old Man River”. The censor keep beeping the singer at each potentially offensive lyric.
It became “Elderly Man River”.

Peter: Brian, can I see that paper for a sec?
Peter: Huh... that's odd... I thought that would big news.
Brian: You thought what would be big news?
Peter: Well there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece: a headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.
Brian: What are you talking about?
Peter: Oh have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard...
Brian: Heard what?
Stewie: Brian Don't!

The NY Audubon Society has changed its name to Bird Society=— because supposedly John J. Audubon the REASON the society even existed, having illustrated hundreds of birds in color paintings— Audubon is said to have owned slaves.

Not joking this freaking happened. Marxists in the bird society? Any part of society that they determine needs a history erasure— they will do if allowed.

They also removed America’s Songwriter Stephen Foster statue Native Son of Pittsburgh because there was a “slave” on his statue with a sickle in his hand and a bunch of cut wheat.

Never heard of a Thick-billed Longspur.

I do know about the famous Norwegian Blue Parrot, however. Here’s hoping the woke don’t change that name.

"rename the dildo"

"You would take him at first for no person of note,
"Because he appears in a plain leather coat,
"But when you his virtuous abilities know,
"You'll fall down and worship Signior Dildo."

John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester
