It already happened in New Orleans a few years ago.

There was a George Washington school in New Orleans. They changed the name of the school because Washington owned slaves. They renamed the school.after Charles Drew, a black surgeon .

No word however, on whether this name change boosted the self esteem of the black students, or boosted student achievement of the black students, now that they no longer had to endure the alleged stigma of going to a school named after a slave owner.

Eventually the state of Washington will need to get a new name.

I can imagine Washington being renamed after Marx or Lenin. The progressives would love that. California could be renamed Mexico del Norte, perhaps.

“Eventually the state of Washington will need to get a new name.”

You are right. But I think the name and legacy of “Seattle” is probably safe.

I said probably.

It's already happened in regards to our largest county. Originally named in honor of Rufus King, King County was re "dedicated" to mlk, thus rendering it just another race-baiting joke.

As for Lincoln, I believe that some skulls full of mush attempted to burn a bust of him. Leftists have no respect for anything.

Seattle is in King County. Originally that was named for a Vice President of the United States, but a few years ago the local politicians changed it to be in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.

So they could re-brand Washington State as being in honor of Booker T. Washington...except that his views are scorned nowadays as not radical enough.

Robert E. Lee high school in Houston was not just renamed, but torn down. A new school was built next to it and named after a corrupt school administrator who was/is a black woman that no one recognizes.

Forward comrades.
