Name change. You are now entering ????? County. Maybe Scott county

There's already a Scott County MO just south of Cape Girardeau.

Or we could choose option B and simply ignore them.  However I am on board with the Jayhawk comment.

Is there a "Dred" county?

They tried to call Scott County that, but they named it after this guy.  Big Federal guy from Virginia.  Probably brought bunches of slaves with him.

I am proudly from Wayne County MO.  Named after "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a revolutionary war hero.  Only the indians will be after his relics.  If anyone has a right to be peeved, its the Native Americans.  Or maybe the Brits.

Jayhawkers and red legs are terms that came to prominence in Kansas Territory, during the Bleeding Kansas period of the 1850s; they were adopted by militant bands affiliated with the free-state cause during the American Civil War. These gangs were guerrillas who often clashed with pro-slavery groups from Missouri, known at the time in Kansas Territory as "Border Ruffians" or "Bushwhackers." After the Civil War, the word "Jayhawker" became synonymous with the people of Kansas, or anybody born in Kansas.^[1] Today a modified version of the term, Jayhawk, is used as a nickname for a native-born Kansan,^[2][3][4] but more typically for a student, fan, or alumnus of the University of Kansas.

I think the Jayhawks of KU can rest easy... don't think they'll come after their name.

River of Life Church was very much against Women, called them all Jezebels.

I could probably give you a dozen examples of very common beliefs that are equally insane....but I won't.  

 

So, are they REALLY going to change a county name?   Can this actually happen?

Kind of like I was when younger working outside all the time.

My In-laws call me the N word all the time and my Step Kids being half Iranian are very dark.
