Hold off on naming things after him (April 4, 2018)

The Civil Beat Dan Inouye/Megan Bailiff story by Anita Hofschneider shines some light on a long-overlooked corner of darkness — powerful men pushing themselves on unpowerful women ( “#MeToo: One Woman’s Story Of Sexual Harassment By Hawaii Sen. Dan Inouye”).

But there’s another, unmentioned issue: the naming of things after powerful men of the past without waiting to see what will be said about them in the present.


Should Hawaii stop naming so many places after the late senator?

Inouye has our main airport named for him. A highway outside Waimea on Hawaii Island leading up to the Pohakuloa Army Training Area. And a major combat ship bearing his name is being built at the Bath Shipyard.

If even more women should come forth with stories of bad behavior (he’s previously been accused of rape) we’d be in the very embarrassing situation of having to fly into/out of his airport, drive on his highway, and a generation of sailors (some female) would have to serve on his ship.

If that isn’t enough impetus to hold off on the naming-game, I don’t know what more is required.
