Yes, Edward Cornwallis was morally evil ; but his horse was not, and neither was the ship Tallahassee

Tree condemned to death for involvement in fatal car crash

There are religions around the world, very ancient religions indeed, that claim moral agency for the wind and the sun and the rocks and the animals & trees.

Fair enough.

But I hardly doubt that the knee-jerk WOKERS trying to condemn a ship for the sins of slavery are advocating for those religions.

They are simply being illogical.

Their failure is a type of category fail : yes Cornwallis School is named after a morally bad man, Edward Cornwallis, so we must change the name  - equally because slavery was/is at least as bad as Cornwallis, Tallahassee must lose its name because a ship (not this time a horse or a tree or a rock) somehow was at least as morally bad as Cornwallis....
