Navy Purges Non-PC, Confederate Name from Yet Another Ship as Military Gets Even Woker
In the spirit of reconciliation between north and south, the military used to have ships, bases, tanks, and other equipment or resources named after Confederates and Yankees.
The veterans of the War between the States were fine with such naming conventions that let Americans get along again.
But for the modern, puritanical leftists in charge, nothing that doesnโt conform exactly to the present demands of wokeness can be allowed. And so a ship named after a man who, in his later years, was tied to the Confederacy has been renamed to appease the woke mob in charge of America.
That ship was named after oceanographic pioneer Matthew Fontaine Maury, known as the โpioneer of the seas.โ He explored the world with the Navy before an arm injury forced him to settle down and chart the oceans for the Navy instead of sailing. He then sided with the Confederacy when war broke out because he was a native of Virginia and was more loyal to his state than to a union that wanted to eradicate his way of life.
And such views are now unacceptable to military that wants to purge everything Confederate from it, including the Confederate graves at Arlington, the home of Robert E. Lee, and so the USNS Maury will be renamed after a woman, Marie Tharp. Tharp was an oceanographer, cartographer, and geologist.

Anon thinks the renaming is Qteams work. Do it under Biden so he gets the blame, but it also takes away some of the Communists' leverage to influence the brainwashed masses.
