Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill Friday that would remove the word “squaw” from all geographic place names in California, declaring the term to be a “racist and sexist slur” — and leaving the town of Squaw Valley in an uproar.

AB 2022 declares: “The term ‘squaw’ is a racist and derogatory term that has historically been used as an offensive ethnic, racial, and sexist slur, particularly for indigenous women.” It says the word must be removed from over 100 names in the state.

Elizabeth Warren will be upset

[Mr. K]

Didn’t the Indians themselves name it that?

[ridesthemiles]

EVERY property deed will have to be re-recorded.

Loretta Lynn had something to say about this: https://youtu.be/nPfulHc5ufk

[Regulator]

From the jerk who got a juicy license to operate his Plumpjack bar in Squaw Valley backed by Getty money.

His politically correct holier than thou grandstanding causes one to wonder: if it was racist and sexist to settle in places like Squaw Valley then whatsa Catholic Irish jerk doing there, hmm? Why doesnt he tear down his little palace next to the Tram and head back to Dublin....the one in Ireland, not the East Bay?

The hypocrisy of an adulterer.

Gavin, grinning, “Hey, is this virtue signaling or what? Which camera is on me?”

[George J. Jetso]

Newscum is out of control.

[packagingguy]

Not unless there was a biologist among them.

Oh my what is the IOC(International Olympic Committee) to do?

Put the 1960 Winter Olympics down the memory hole?

[Bernard]

They could call it “Lia Thomas Valley”. That might confuse a few folks.

[frank ballenger]

Pelosi/Newsom Deed and Title Company at your service.

When the City of East Detroit had a referendum to change it’s name to Eastpointe (to distance itself from any association with Detroit) the major contributor to the petition effort was a sign company. Not kidding. And it profited from the new signs everybody bought.

[Old Grumpy]

It’s good to know he’s taking care of such IMPORTANT matters in Calif. /S

[jagusafr]

Because THIS is the most important issue facing California… What a tool.

[x]

So now he is saying that the 1960 Winter Olympics never happened?

We beat the Soviets in ice hockey that year.

But now that "Miracle on Ice" never happened?

[caltaxed]

These horrid Squaw Names have been driving the wealth and high paying jobs from California.

Thank you Gavin for taking action to stem the flow.

[Nevadan]

The 1960 Olympics were held in Squaw Valley California. I guess Newsom will have to rewrite Olympic history to make it fit his newest mandate.

[Sacajaweau]

A squaw is simply a female indian...just like Madam in French...
