I think most people would support the line in the sand if that line were to be defined.

Things that are named by the government.
There's your line.
What things named by the government? All of them. Period.
Buildings, parks, streets, schools, holidays, whatever.
Government shouldn't be honoring people that committed atrocities.
Government shouldn't be using racial slurs.
We as a society can't say that it's ok rename Adolf Hilter Drive but not Adolph Hitler High School because where does it end?
Should it be done peacemeal? I'd be totally fine if a municipal, provincial or federal government wants to do as many as they can all at once.
