Somewhere some shrieking non-thinkers are banking ideological funds because nine people were murdered at a church in South Carolina. Politicians jumped on the “Ban that flag!” bandwagon, and news organizations are whipping the horses over changing names of military posts and bases.
A Pentagon spokesman notes that the U.S. military has authority and responsibility for naming posts and bases.
"The services are ultimately responsible for naming their own military installations, and as of now, there are no current plans to change policies regarding how installations are named.”

That’s not right! That’s not fair! Names should reflect the Diversity of America, not some history.
The president must issue an executive order appointing a Base and Post Naming Board with authority to change names to Americans who struggled to achieve harmony through diversity. And the president must specify that no present or former military person may sit on the board.
