Now that we are in the midst of another football season, we are once again hearing why the Washington Redskins should change their name. George Will reminds us in a recent column that sensitivity auditors are on the warpath against this politically incorrect name because it may disparage Native Americans.

Whatever you may feel about the name, you must admit that there are many other politically incorrect names for cities, states, and even sports teams. If you don’t like the name redskins, what about the name Oklahoma? It is the compound of two Choctaw words meaning “red” and “people.”

Washington, D.C. is named for a man who was a slave owner and tobacco farmer. I guess it is time to rename the capital. And while we are talking about Washington, consider the affront that Washington and Lee University might have on people demanding political correctness. Robert E. Lee fought under the Confederate flag, which is quickly being banned from every Southern capital and city in the U.S.

What about Jefferson City, Missouri or Madison, Wisconsin? These cities are named for founding fathers that have also been deemed offenders of morality. And we would certainly have to rename Jacksonville, Florida. It is named for Andrew Jackson who had the nickname “Indian killer.” And the sensitivity auditors will certainly want to remove his picture from the twenty-dollar bill.

Secularists concerned about a rigorous enforcement of the First Amendment must certainly want to change the names of cities named for Christian saints. St. Louis, San Diego, San Antonio, and San Francisco are just a few of the offending cities.

George Will also mentions some state flags. The Massachusetts flag “shows a Native American holding a bow and arrow, a weapon that reinforces a hurtful stereotype of Native Americans.” An Indian rides across the Minnesota flag with a spear in hand.

Who knew there were so many images in America for the sensitivity auditors to condemn?
