names throughout the country. She better get busy with some legislation to rename them all. She forgets the origins of this country. I'm sure she's never heard of Amerigo Vespucci.

I always remember an assignment we had back in 3rd or 4th grade... we had to look at a map of New York State (that's where we were) and pick out all the Native American city names. One of those assignments I always remembered because it was fun and interesting. We learned that there are loads of cities with Native American names. There are also thousands of cities with Spanish names... and French and Dutch etc. If boebert had graduated high school she may have learned this.
