Yeah, what does an old dead white man have to do with a state named after George Washington Carver?

Washington Democrats introduce legislation to remove George Washington from state flag

'While George Washington is an important national figure, he has limited historical connection to the state itself,' lawmakers said in their proposal

Because when you live in paradise and there are no serious problems left to address, there’s time to turn one’s attention to neglected issues, such as designing a flag that depicts a true historical perspective of the state; Like when the founding pioneer received the Salmon to the Territory from the indigenous people whose land he’d just stolen.

Or something like that.
