Personally, I'd rather give those behind this nonsense "the bird" rather than rename them
Looks like we have some book burning to do! While we are at, let's burn Sherwood Forest. (After we find a new home for all the birds we renamed)

Once we are done taking down the statues, let's burn the great pyramids. They were built by slaves. Oh! Oh! What??? The pyramids are in Africa?? Looks like we did all of this for NOTHING. The continent of Africa was one of the first to start slavery. My bad....
