These names are “thus perpetuating settler colonialism and white supremacy at the system scale for future generations.”
I wish these professors would go to a national park and a bear would eat them
I suspect that the majority of these professors belong to the white supremacist race, and therefore, as a sign of repentance to the POC, they should sacrifice themselves by throwing themselves off the cliffs of these national parks and appease the gods of racial harmony. Works for me. We will miss them, said no one.
So Indians showed up and named places. White men showed up and renamed the places. Somehow whites are bad for this? Just stop it already. You don’t want people to be racist? Stop being a stereotype for the race industry. Nobody cares about this anymore.

WHen you are basing “research” on opinion, as you certainly are when you say something is offensive, then its not really research. Offense is merely opinion. What one person, or culture, finds offensive is not worth mentioning to another person or culture.
As an example, cartoons of Mohammad are extremely offensive to Muslims. To other cultures, its barely worth mentioning.
In other word, who cares?!
They need to tell us what Year Zero was. When is the beginning of our glorious new future. EVERYONE is tied to someone who will be found objectionable, if they continue this. Clinton, Obama, Biden - all are less than six degrees of separation from segregationists and KKK leaders.
Well, that group of ‘professors’ can just FRO.
I have grown weary of living with these people.
Hopefully Los Angeles will be renamed to Los Diablos Ciego in honor of most of the upper level government officials.
Just think of all the name changes needed, due to political correctness. It goes far beyond what they are talking about in national parks.
All these places in California, with names such as San Diego, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Bernardino etc. need to be cleansed due to offending atheists and being inspired by Catholicism. Ditto St. Paul and St. Louis.
The state of Indiana, meaning land of Indians, needs to change. We aren’t supposed to say Indians any more, so even if this state’s name is thought to honor Indian tribes, that name has got to go.
Columbus, Ohio, needs to be changed, because Columbus offends the liberals of today.
Washington, DC, and the state of Washington, need to shed those offensive names, because Washington owned slaves.
How can Jefferson City, Missouri, keep that name? Jefferson owned slaves.
Just a few examples of place names which cause angst among the politically correct crowd. This name changing business will never end, if some people get their way.
* Waterfall #192Actually, I think these miserable people would be a lot happier if we didn't have spoken or written language with which we express racism, white supremacism, settler colonialism, and anti-indigenous ideologies.

Let's all go back to the happy time when we scrawled on cave walls.
‘Racism’ or not. They will completely destroy this nation if we let them.
You want to poison bears? Shame on you. Yogi and Boo-boo have you on the enemies list
Years ago I watched a documentary about a tropical island. The professor in that documentary was a very wise man. He wasn't obsessed by race. And he didn’t see racism everywhere. I wish today’s professors would be more like him.
I’d never wish that kind of misfortune on a bear, dude, and you shouldn’t either. Tsk, tsk...

SPOILER ALERT!
Here is the ONE WEIRD TRICK alluded to so you don’t have to bother clicking. It doesn’t name names. It just describes names that might be changed.

The study also reported that 214 names appropriate Indigenous language, 205 names replace an Indigenous place name with a colonizer name, and 52 names honored violent individuals. Others, such as Yellowstone National Park, were “the work of white urban power elites,” including Teddy Roosevelt. The former president helped grow the National Park Service.
The researchers wrote that “white hegemonic symbols embedded in parks can contribute to a perception that white people are the primary stewards and knowledge keepers of nature” and as a result make racial minorities feel excluded. “Black people are 13% of the US population yet they are only 1% of US national park visitors, while white people are 76% of the US population and 96% of visitors,” the paper noted.

Gee...I wonder about all the places that still have names derived from “Native” American languages. I grew up in south Louisiana, on the banks of bayou Latenache, between the Atchafalaya and Mississippi rivers, and many, many hundreds more. These morons need to STFU....
Babies are crying for formula and this is how tax dollars are spent.
Can all these “professors” and researchers be fired and doxed?
See Dave Rubin’s interview with Douglas Murray.
Murray lays it all out with Brit clarity and erudition.

And, his solution.
