[QUOTE="battle, post: 1326019, member: 395895"] the logical endgame is to simply disavow all things associated with native Americans, change the name of the university, etc. as well as lobby the state govt to change the name of state, and all cities, rivers, parks, etc. and when that succeeds change all names in the country - names associated with any culture or person, etc. why wait? after all, names can't possibly honor anything, they can only be offensive. yet, throughout history, names and labels first used derisively were often a rallying call and these labels not only became a badge of courage but garnered respect for those that don't see why we're upset over this - then why did it bother the offended group so much - aren't there more important issues [/QUOTE]
