Phoenix’s iconic Squaw Peak — which moonbats have referred to since 2008 by its current government name, “Piestewa Peak” — will regrettably have company across the state line:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2022 signed a bill into law that bans use of the word “squaw” in future place names and ordered the agency rename all places that used the term, including on streets, bridges, public buildings and cemeteries, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. …

The California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names will work to implement approved replacement names by Jan. 1.

Why are we forbidden from saying the word “squaw”? Just because. The very arbitrariness is the reason. Every time someone says “Piestewa Peak” instead of “Squaw Peak,” they are bending the knee to liberals as their lords and masters. Tribal leaders play along out of habitual crybullying.

Speaking of Squaw Peak, until recently various trailheads near this popular mountain were named after Indian tribes: Apache, Navaho, et cetera. But this was changed, because per woke doctrine Indians have to be erased like the Land O’Lakes butter squaw so that no one offends them by acknowledging them as part of Americana. Acknowledging the South is also forbidden; consequently, nearby Dixie Peak now has the government name “Two Bit Peak.”

This moonbattery is also imposed at the federal level:

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland also moved in 2021 to rename any geographic features or location names on federal lands that use “squaw,” including dozens in California.

Redundancy is a defining feature of Big Government.

Musk and Ramaswamy had better hit the ground running. They have a lot a work to do, if the bloat is so bad that bureauweenies are overpaid with our money to impose their ideology by deleting harmless words from the Newspeak Dictionary.
