You knew it was coming...

quote:

The name in question is Jefferson Davis Parish. Nicholas Guidry started the online petition on change.org to set in motion the removal of the name from the parish.

Guidry says Jefferson Davis represents a leading figure of the nation's Civil War era.

"We as a people cannot continue to honor the name of ANY PERSON who took up a cause in favor of the ownership of human lives," the petition states.

If it helps I don’t think he’s being honored by having that parish named after him.

Why does this guy think he has the authority to tell any of us what we need to do?

They say he was a crossdresser so renaming it may be illegal.

So we’re renaming just about everything that was christened before 1800 or so.

These statues are too offensive for public display! Put them in a museum!







I can't believe we have these racist statues in public museums! They need to go!

Someone needs to start a petition to end the petition to rename Jefferson Davis Parish.
