California Bill Would Ban Naming State, Local Sites For Confederate Leaders

By RUBEN VIVES A state senator introduced a bill this week that would prohibit the naming of state and local properties after Confederate leaders.

The measure would affect two elementary schools -- one in Long Beach and another in San Diego -- which were named after Robert E. Lee, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia for the Confederate States of America.

Under the proposed law, the two schools would have to be renamed within the next two years.

State Sen. Steve Glazer (D-Orinda) introduced SB 539, known as the Frederick Douglass Liberty Act. The bill is being supported by Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff (R-San Dimas).

Maybe we should pass a similar law for Texas secessionists from the 19th century. I.e. No more Daniel Boone Elementary School in San Diego or Alamo Elementary School in Vacaville.

What if those wacky Californicators decide to name a park after Leland Yee, after he gets out of prison and runs for office?

So many Chinese, that’s going to sound suspiciously like ‘Lee’ park.

Someone could be microaggressed and shit.

Take all those Confederate names down from public places and rename them all after Hollywood queers, freak and perverts that reflect current Californicate and not that old musty dusty historic California.

Los Angeles.
The City of Angels.
Since angels are associated with religion, shouldn't they change the name to separate church and state?
