The National Park Service announced last week that Yellowstone National Park’s Mount Doane would be renamed First Peoples Mountain. The agency said Thursday the change was taken to remove an “offensive name” from America’s first national park.The US Board on Geographic Names voted unanimously, 15-0, affirming the decision. The Wyoming mountain stands at 10,551 feet east of Yellowstone Lake. The mountain was previously named after explorer Gustavus Doane.

What’s offensive is that it was renamed to the most stupid name for a Mountain you could ever come up with. Since it’s gay month why not manner it The Peoples Rainbow Mountain of Pride. Sell bumper stickers saying It Won’t Lick Itself.

Please, will someone stop the insanity. Just stop it! Do I assume there is some committee somewhere renaming everything in America to their liking. Including the name America. These people need intensive mental therapy. Leave the rest of us the hell alone. Tired of the nonsense.

Busy bodies gotta be busy.
For government busy bodies, this is more work than many of therm have ever done in their life.
That's how worthless bureaucrats are. They are ticks, tape worms, and assorted other parasitic creatures.

Doane fought with the Yankees "to free the slaves" and explored Yellowstone, but later was Mean to the Great Noble Savage owing to unfounded and baseless allegations that they were murdering members of the of the despised class of white people who founded this failed nation, and so by Marxist standards he is relegated to the ash heap of ignominy. Just wait until the Marxists reveal that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and others of our Founders also owned many hundreds slaves! What a glorious moment that will be, considering that Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis have also been relegated to the ash heap for far lesser offenses as far as owning African slaves goes. How easy it is to take control of a lazy nation, erasing its history day by day.

I would have suggested Big Rock Candy Mountain.

This is part of communist Obama's "fundamentally changing America." I wish these vermin would slither off somewhere and die.

I've hiked and hunted the Yellowstone region, and Bridger-Teton National Forest, and Bridger Wilderness Area since the early 70s, almost every year.
There's a peak there, called Squaw Peak, and I have figured for many years that one day they'll get all riled up about that.
When I saw the headline, I figured it was that peak being gone after.

Managed to get that "Peoples" thing in there. Why not "Comrade Peak"? Tell me again how we won the Cold War.

Re #12, the reports are that the original French trappers called the mountains "les trois tétons". However modern French autotranslators will say "tetines" for teats. Need to ask a Frenchman what's the diff.
Only later were the Grand Teton, Middle Teton and South Teton specifically named.
I'm wondering if this will get through the site filters.

First thing communists do when they get in power is to destroy the country’s history. That far too many Americans go along with this is very troubling. We will politically correct our way right out of existence as a country. Do these go along to get along fools ever study history?

They've even renamed the Gypsy moth. They now call it the Spongy moth.
I swear - people are nuts, simply nuts.

The level of arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity in some people.
They seem to think they can right every wrong in the world, real or imagined. Who do these people think they are? God?
At some point, God will show everybody what fools they are. They address nonsense like this while ignoring or creating real problems. They give the mountain a Communist name. Well, Communist seek to replace God with man. It won't work.

As I recall, the Lewis & Clark expedition found it necessary to waste only a couple of indigenous native people on their entire out and back....I believe they were Blackfeet.......they really were brutal Rectal apertures

Boy this is really scraping the bottom of that proverbial barrel isn't it? So anyone with the courage to explore uncharted territory is now offensive? Makes sense if you think about it. After all, liberal snowflakes don't have the courage to think or explore, they are too craven in their cowardice.

I don't know who Doane was but he either owned slaves or killed a lot of Indians, so they gave the mountain a good communist name.

Renamed for being offensive? Not to quibble, but I am offended by the change.

I find "Dick's Sporting Goods" to be offensive. "Ritz Crackers" ranks right up there and "Animal Crackers" is even worse. "Great White Shark" is offensive to whites because the shark is gray and they just want to give us a nasty greedy image. "Bigfoot" is an insult to all those who wear bigger than a size 12 because the creature is big all over, why pick on the feet?

I hope they realize that the people living there when whites showed up were not the First People. The Clovis people were here for thousands of years, long before and were replaced by our Native Americans.

More history swept under the rug only to be discovered again by explorers of the Planet of the Apes in 2525.

Yes, #27, that's my approach. I continue to call Miami University's football team the Redskins, as well as the Washington pro-football team. They can change names all they want, even in the media, but if enough people refuse to surrender-- it won't take. At the least, using original names will continue to highlight the silliness--
