I wanted to point out Feinstein's "crime" here because it's actually quite ridiculous. Basically, in the 80s, somebody vandalized a part of a city building dedicated to southern heritage, and defiled the Confederate flag. Feinstein, hearing about this, wanted the flag to be replaced, which was ultimately forgotten about and never happened. Because of this mishap, her name is being removed from schools. Yes, because she wanted to clean the flag 40 years ago. I guess the cancellers are cancelling themselves now, because she's definitely liberal.
I live in Columbus, Ohio, and our school district is doing a similar thing, but we're renaming any sort of mascot which might represent a group of people. This of course includes Native American names, which I'm fine with removing, but also is extended to names like vikings and Scots, which nobody has an issue with. It's sad to see both of these school districts waste taxpayer money on the little things, when both have not been open to most kids for a year. Couldn't the money be better spent on air filtration systems and cleaning supplies?
Nobody should be naming things after Feinstein anyway, unless we’re celebrating her retirement
