CHICAGO - In a letter sent out this week by the Chicago Audubon Society, the environmental consulting organization says it plans to drop "Audubon" from its name and is encouraging the National Audubon Society to do the same. (Snip) "Carrying John James Audubon’s name does not serve us well ethically," the organization said, calling out the naturalist’s ties to a genocidal campaign waged against people of color.
The organization argued that Audubon had no role to play in the discovery of nation’s natural resources but merely described them for mostly white audiences.

What's the new name going to be? The George Floyd/BLM society, because you know all those inner-city folk are really concerned about the environment.

Joe McCarthy was right, but there were already enough of them in power to shut him down...

The campaign to erase white people continues. While the public of all races wearies of the Democrat Party racism I expect that Audubon will be memory holed by the organization that bears his name. Maybe the Democrats can celebrate by burning copies of Audubon’s beautiful Birds of America.

As Joe Biden would say: “I have just one word to say about this: ‘Planned Parenthood’”.

Since all of the other problems that have plagued Chicongo have been solved, I guess it's time to jump on the more serious problems.

There is a Franklyn Delano Roosevelt memorial on the National Mall. A President that appointed a Klu Klux Klan member to the Supreme court and who refused to support the anti-lynching law does not represent the best ideals of this country. Change the name to the Dwight D Eisenhower Memorial.

That is absurd!!! My brother has been a member of the Audubon Society for years and I know he will have something to say about this. Kentucky has an Audubon state park. Will we be forced to close it?

These idiots that keep harping about racism (that we pretty much had gotten over until Obama started it up again) make the words racist and racism mean nothing. Now they call trees, roads, math and everything else racist. The most racist people are the democrats, and the most racist of the races are black. These communists are very racist now, against white people. It will make most people more racist, but that is what the communists want. Divide the races, split up the family unit, create chaos etc. Ignorant people along with evil people.

Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood as a means to eliminate the black race - - through sterilization, abortion, and euthanasia.
She was a total and unapologetic racist. So - - I'm guessing the Chicago pols will force all of the Planned Parenthood abortion mills out of the city. Yes - - that's my best guess - - and I think it's a pretty good one.

The planet is spawning these dangerous nut jobs at an alarming rate. The worst part of it is that very few are telling them to pound sand.

How about "The Chicago Lunatic Haters" or "Cookoos 'R Us' ? Lots of apt names come to mind.
Hate just destroys people, and these are haters of the first order.

It happened in Bolshevik Russia, and in post-Revolution France; dumping the old order and traditions, to institute changes to destroy the history of the previous society. Out with the old, in with the new.
That’s why I thoroughly dislike the metric system. No soul.

#7, now there’s a great memory…..my summer job before I left for college was at Audubon State Park in Henderson.
Maybe they could just rename it MLK Park, a moniker that could, on the one hand, erase the memory of an artist who painted wildlife and, on the other, honor equality, racial harmony, and economic development….sorta the way it has everywhere else it’s been applied.

I get frustrated because there are so many causes that would truly help people but this is just a ridiculous waste of effort. Just call it the Bird Brain Society.

Nope, not going along with these stupid games. If you want to break away and start a new group go ahead. But please do not ask the rest of us to join in your a hole fantasy.

I'd say the organization is 'For the birds' but
....apparently not, anymore.

I have to guess they are confused with the Autobahn in Germany and don't want to get run over!
