MN Appeals Court Shoots Down PC & SJW Cranks

[Oddball]

Though a small (and possibly temporary) victory, one of the most overbearing state bureaucracies in the nation -the MN DNR- gets put back into its box.

A group called “Save Lake Calhoun” argued the Minnesota DNR commissioner did not have the authority to change the name, and on Monday, the state Court of Appeals agreed, saying because the name was in place for more than 40 years, only the state legislature can change it.


“The DNR commissioner chose the route of violating the law when the law said he could only change the name of a lake that has been used less than 40 years and Lake Calhoun has been used for more than 40 years … like 150 years,” attorney Eric Kaardal said.

A thread, only a racist would enjoy.
The name was changed to Bde Maka Ska, which is Dakota for “white earth lake.”
Lake Calhoun was named after John C Calhoun
“John C. Calhoun has a legacy that not too many people in this city want to honor anymore,” public historian Dr. Kate Beane said. “He created the Indian Removal Act, and that removal act led to the displacement and death of thousands of indigenous people, including the Cherokee Trail of Tears. This is not somebody who’s legacy we want in our city, and I think that the park board, the mayor, the city and the state and federal have agreed that a process was followed.”
Only a hick from the sticks like Oddball, would think this is just absolutely wonderful. He just hates them dar Injuns, after all they ain't white.
