Chicago Audubon Society Changes Name to Chicago Bird Alliance
John Audubon
Nothing is safe from cancel culture.
The Gateway Pundit reported on efforts by Kenn Kaufman to change the names of birds who are named after those deemed “unacceptable.”
In 2021, Kaufman told NPR, “Once you start realizing that kind of thing about these historical characters, the bird names take on a more sinister tone.”
Now, leaders of the The Chicago Audubon Society, a bird conservation organization founded in 1971, announced they will change their name to the Chicago Bird Alliance and erase the Audubon name.
Hey! We have a new name! Leaving the problematic 18th century naturalist behind. Details at our website. pic.twitter.com/LKgDPYMeLy
