Letter: When will we rename Dixie National Forest?

If the name “Dixie” is too insensitive and inappropriate for a Utah college, why is it still plastered all over a national forest? I have asked the Dixie National Forest, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and my congressional representative, Blake Moore, to look into changing it. I’ve received no response from any of them.

Changing the college name is only half the job. What’s it going to take to finish it?
