MAJ Montgomery Granger: "Roads, streams, rivers, towns, parks, etc., are named in HONOR of our shared history, " So do you have a problem with so many places that use the word "squaw"?

We have had culture after culture cancelled in this country by a WOKE minority. Enough! The beauty of America is LOCAL control, of schools, towns, counties, etc. This issue should be decided by the people who are affected by it, not by snowflake frauds from out of town, out of state, out of their minds.

MAJ Montgomery Granger; Capt Gregory Prickett - And the Native American culture was the first to be cancelled by this country under the WOKE minority of white people. It was well over 200 years before a law was passed to ensure Native children weren't taken away from their tribal nations and made available to adopt by WOKE white people. Oh wait a minute, those WOKE white people were in the majority, so forcing Native American children to be taken away from their parents and given to white people wasn't WOKE. It was simply LOCAL control of schools, towns, counties, etc. The people affected by it, the Native American tribal nations/parents/children, didn't have a say in that LOCAL control.
And why do you think it's okay to have a bunch of roads, streams, rivers, valleys, etc. all named "squaw"? Would you like to live on C--t Peak? Are you offended by that term but not offended by the term "squaw"? Under your theory of "LOCAL control", then white people could continue to use the word "squaw" because the WOKE minority just don't understand that it's always been called that and besides, it's a compliment to Indian women.

What's interesting is that people who don't live there, think their opinion should matter to people they don't know and don't care about. It's called PROJECTING one's beliefs onto others without being a stakeholder. Let people in a community decide how they want to be perceived without outside WOKENESS coming in and cancelling their culture. That's NOT America, where people are promised Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness that THEY choose, not outsiders.
