Columbus removes Columbus

The city of Columbus, OH has removed a statue of Columbus.  Gifted to the city in 1955 by Genoa, Italy, the statue has been declared to represent "patriarchy, oppression, and divisiveness."  I have always seen him to represent exploration and discovery.  Agree to disagree.  Anyway, by the given logic, it is time to rename the city of Columbus.  Maybe also rename Columbia University, the District of Columbia, Columbia, SC, Columbus, GA, Columbus, NE, Columbus, TX, and many, many more.  Let the insanity roll on.

As an aside, guess the party affiliation of the mayor of Columbus.
