Re: Lewis’s Woodpecker - that’s a damn shame if they change the name. Lewis discovered this bird and brought back skins for Wilson to describe.

That reminds me of an incident in Ralph’s Latin I class when I was in grade 12 (Latin I had been in hiatus for the first three years of my time at MHS) when a junior guy managed to get a well-endowed (physically at least) sophomore to try to touch her elbows behind her back.

If the biggest problem facing minorities is the name of birds then we can say that their is no real racism.

Thought Police Alert!

And why not?
Is there any slightest indication that the American people would either stop, attempt to stop, or raise hell about this?

The communists are living large and in total control...
This is just the barebones beginning...

When Americans find out, they will band together at Concord Bridge and:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

Big Tech loves the “tablet” approach—they can censor the text with a touch of one keystroke—that is why I collect and buy paper books and will continue to do so.

We still haven’t cured cancer, we have terrorists organizing to kill us, a lot of people still go hungry and these morons are bothered by BIRD NAMES??? Send them over to a place like North Korea, force them to live like the natives, and then they might have something to complain about. The problem is, the media give them far too much ink. If they countered their idiotic complaints with, “Are you KIDDING me???”, the snowflakes would dry up and evaporate.

Any birds that get cancelled will be rounded up and forced to fly around wind turbines.
