So you are saying that things should change because one, or a small group will "feel better". Good example is Eastern Michigan university, changed their name from Hurons, honoring the local indian tribe, to Eagles. Nothing negative about honoring the tribe but some felt it was so away we go. Central michigan on the other hand kept Chippawas, honoring their local indian tribe. EMU administration was lacking in testiclular fortitude. Really tired of the perpetually offended snowflakes. I realize that at my age it is somewhat normal to look at the younger generation with a jaunticed eye. But even given that, a good portion of this generation is scarry, hopefully the ones with common sense will prevail.
