#2 People of color often had no voice and no opportunity to raise concerns about the city’s decision to honor Confederate leaders

They also had no voice in the drafting and ratification of the Constitution of the United States. Oh, and there were slave holders too involved in that. Let's throw everything out and make it about pure power. Let's see who's left standing.

#3 But then, Stephen F. Austin, for whom the city is named died before the Civil War and by most accounts was not a slave owner.

So just another example of Libs from other parts of the country moving to a Red state and infecting the politics with their moon bat crazy ideas.

#6 See if Jesus City flies.
That'll give Sessions something to investigate.

#7 Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and several others of the founding fathers were slave owners. How long will it be before the SJWs demand that the District of Columbia, the state of Washington, all of the 30+ places named Jefferson" change their names?

Oh, and tear down the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial. Might as well tear down the Lincoln Memorial while they're at it. After all, Lincoln was a Republican.

#8 Lostin? Costin'? Boston (as in, "the Athens of Texas")? Or annoy the sign painters guild by just changing which Austin "Austin" points to? Six Million Dollar Man's obviously ineligible, but surely there's a first bicolor trans furperson of oxidation management, or a lesb1an freedman Union vet, or... whatever... that all decent folks could get behind?

And when they come for H-Town, how about "Hopkins?" Or "Jesus City." Whichever.
