The best part is the "Notes" tab, where someone lays out why the stated reasons are complete BS.
Case in point: "Lowell High School must be renamed because the namesake was a racist."
Notes: "Yeeeah, no, it wasn't named after that guy at all."
(they voted to rename anyway)
Another example: "Paul Revere led the Penobscot Expedition, which led to the colonization of the Penobscot."
Notes: "What? No. The Penobscot expedition was fought against the British, in Penobscot Bay. The natives weren't involved."
(voted to rename anyway)
"Dianne Feinstein was responsible for evicting an entire Filipino neighborhood!"
Notes: "That happened in 1977. She wasn't mayor until a year later."
(voted to rename anyway)
"Abraham Lincoln executed 38 Dakota Indians!"
Notes: "The Minnesota governor was going to execute *300*. Lincoln intervened when he had no obligation to, and saved the vast majority of them."
(voted to rename anyway)
"George Washington: slaveowner, colonizer."
Notes: "HE REVOLTED AGAINST A COLONIZER TO FREE COLONIAL SUBJECTS. HE IS LITERALLY GEORGE WASHINGTON. ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW."
(voted to rename anyway)
Also, James Lick was canceled for funding a racist statue, but if you click the link it says he funded it *posthumously*, so it was his estate that's to blame
Horace Mann-- an abolitionist!-- is not absolved, btw. "more research needed," presumably until we find something.
(for further reading, see this link from a communist newspaper)
Oh missed this one: "Sanchez was a missionary who served as a military chaplain for the colonizers"
Notes: "guys, the school is *on Sanchez Street*, which is named for a different Jose Sanchez."
(voted to renamed anyway)
