Leftist want to declare everything pre-Civil Rights movement as illegitimate since they consider the founding of the US as illegitimate.

Confederate monuments is a 'foot in the door' issue.

Once they get you to concede events in the past were driven by racism and white supremacy everything pre-Civil Rights movement in our past becomes illegitimate.

They've been working on this for decades changing the names of schools, public buildings, parks, etc. and replace them with their CR heroes.

Their goal is to purge the past and make the Civil Rights movement the new benchmark for founding of the United States.

Let’s rename Washington, D.C. to “Capitol City.”

The State of Washington could be named “That State in the Northwest Corner.”

While we are at it, can we get rid of everything already named for Der Obamafuehrer?

Let’s purge the Civil War, any talk of slavery, reparations is off the table, period.
No need for Affirmation Action, etc since the perceived need has been erased from history.

Does that include Bummerville, California?

Austin is the state capitol. The whole states needs to vote on this, not just the inhabitants of scum city.

“Known as both the “father of Texas” and the namesake of the state’s capital, Stephen F. Austin carved out the early outlines of Texas among his many accomplishments.”

Rename the city after the Austin Motor Company. Call the city “Austin.”

It makes sense because there used to be a guy that drove around town in one of the Austin cars.

King County in the state of Washington did a similar things several years ago. Crime went down, income went up, and everyone was so pleased.

It was fabulous!

How many of these libs have Plantation Shutters in their home?

The renaming of Texas towns and counties should fail with threat of force if needed.

“Any new street names might fall in line with a 2017 recommendation from the Austin Commission for Women that called for the city to address gender and racial disparities in the naming of public symbols. The commission also suggested preference should be given to individuals connected to Austin and having a “positive relationship and history with the community.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That settles it. Austin will be renamed after Leslie Cochran.
