Yeah, except that it gives them fuel. Look at how many naive mesh-cap and legging moms Christopher Rufo brought into their fold. They always do this memory hole thing. "This isn't about [last outrageous thing we did] we welcome [people who opposed last outrageous thing we did] and are really just here to [do innocent sounding thing]." Remember, George W. Bush was a "war hero" one day and then in 2010 they'd never heard of him and his deficit spending was why he wasn't a Real® Conservative and they rebranded as the Tea Party.

So no, there should be no organic outrage about renaming schools, but if we say the stakes are that high, it's incumbent on us not to tip any normies away.
