Glad that California does not have other pressing issues for its state legislature to address at this time.

This is precisely what Lincoln wanted to avoid; demonization, hate, and polarization.

[kevslisababy]

but the Mexican flag flying over US soil is just fine.

[P-Marlowe]

When are they going to pass a law prohibiting cities and counties from being named after Catholic saints?

It was an elected DEMOCRAT that stood in the school house door. It’s way past time to ban the slave party for its history of racism and murder.

Gosh! From the heading I thought you wouldn’t be allowed to name your child Lee or have the last name of Davis. Why would that even be thought as possible unless it could have been potentially true. This country is going nuts over some of the dumbest things.

Sayonara, Ft. Bragg.

General Braxton Bragg (March 22, 1817 – September 27, 1876)

Fort Bragg, California was named after General Braxton Bragg then the Commanding General of the Western Division of the United States Army and later a key commander in the forces of the Confederacy in the American Civil War. General Bragg was a very controversial figure and, believe it or not, he ended up being a railroad engineer. General Braxton Bragg Of the eight men who reached the rank of full general in the Confederate army Braxton Bragg was the most controversial. The North Carolinian West Pointer (1837) had earned a prewar reputation for strict discipline as well as a literal adherence to regulations. At one time, the story goes, he actually had a written dispute with himself while serving in the dual capacity of company commander and post quartermaster.

His pre-Civil War career was highly distinguished. After seeing action against the Seminoles, he went on to win three brevets in the Mexican War, in which his battery of "flying artillery" revolutionized, in many respects, the battlefield use of that arm. In 1856 he resigned his captaincy-he was a lieutenant colonel by brevet-in the 3rd Artillery and became a Louisiana planter. He held many posts in the Confederate Army.

So what are they going to change the name of Ft. Bragg to? Milkville?

[Gamecock]

So what are they going to do with cities and towns?

Like the town of Fort Bragg.

Wasn't California a Union state? Do they teach anything in school?

This seems about as much of a issue as the Confederate General statues surrounding Grant's Tomb. Really, I think libs come up with this nonsense as a way to avoid talking about actual problems.

But they can have Cesar Chavez Parkway...... The man who authorized threats to women and daughters (rape) if the farm workers didn’t join his “union”.

[Theodore R.]

Who knows; they may rename Jeff Davis County in West TX with the support of the uninformed of TX.

The monuments and streets named for MLK, Jr., need to be reassessed. Pass it on. We don’t need a National Holiday for such a man that had few ethics and morals. No wonder the black community is so dysfunctional, they are emulating MLK,Jr.’s personal life.

[The_Reader_David]

There is something a bit obnoxious about naming things for Confederate leaders qua Confederate leaders, at least outside of the South where their having fought for their states gives some basis for it.

However, plaques with inscriptions like

Dedicated the memory of Robert E. Lee whose honorable choice to surrender spared the United States many more years of bloodshed.

or

Dedicated to the memory of Nathan Bedford Forrest whose repentance for founding the KKK and tireless work late in life in the interest of African Americans should serve as an exemplar for all Americans.

strike me as perfectly reasonable dedications for public buildings.

[NormsRevenge]

lololololololololololololololol

nothin better to do than pass some more meaningless crap and act like they’re working on series issues that affect this state’s residents.

[Zathras]

Is Hanks going to re-name “Forest Gump”?

[ek_hornbeck]

We all know that Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are so much more of a threat to Californians than the likes of Francisco Lopez-Sanchez.
