The war on Columbus has been going on for a while—and it’s to be expected in far-left enclaves like Berkeley—but it’s sad to see America’s foremost Catholic university join in the crusade.
The Rev. John Jenkins, president of the University of Notre Dame, announced Sunday that school officials would cover murals of Christopher Columbus, the famed explorer credited with discovering the New World.
In a statement to the school, Jenkins said some found the murals offensive because they were “blind to the consequences of Columbus’s voyage for the indigenous peoples,” and saw them as demeaning.
Jenkins acknowledged some of Columbus’ contributions, but said that wasn’t enough to leave the murals uncovered at his school.

Hmmm... A Catholic university and the Catholics have the Knights of Columbus and I am one of them.
ReplyDeleteIf I drive past a really nice house that I've never seen before can I kick in the door because I've discovered it take all the valuables and then start renting the place out?
ReplyDeleteThe story that schoolbooks have told our children is a lie. If anyone discovered the new world it were the original settlers that crossed the bering straight during the ice age. There is even proof of Asians and Vikings arriving in the Native Americans land long before Columbus. I won't blame him for everything that happened years after he arrived but if you look at his own story the guy was a major jerk. Columbus' voyage started the European takeover of America and history is always written by the conqueror. We are lying to our children if they aren't shown the full story and it's not Pilgrams and Indians sitting down for Turkey.
We've become a nation of spineless pussies
ReplyDeleteND used to be an elite school with class and prestige. Now it's just like any other LIBERAL mess of a school. The Catholic Church is more concerned with ERASING history than stopping FULL TERM ABORTIONS. Yet the parents are so stupid to Pat top dollar for RACISM course. Too bad they listen to the 1% who don't even know history let alone paying tuition.
ReplyDeleteAllowing Democrats to dictate history is dangerous for all of our freedom in this country and need to take a stand against it.
ReplyDeleteReading, writing, arithmetic, history, & basic morals. Real phys. ed. So simple, yet so unreachable, it seems.
ReplyDeleteThis is true. Yes, the truth. It is a dark hour, my listeners. Fellow travelers, it is apparent that they have succeeded. You know who (of course you do). Soros and the New World Order Globalists. Yes. It is true. They will stop at nothing to silence you. Hush, they say. Nothing to "see" here. Yes, there is. There are many malfeasances occurring every day. This started in 1994 with the rise of the Internet and they controlled him. Bill. But he slipped from time to time and was more conservative than they liked. Yes, then in 2003, they discovered wi-fi was a better communication tool to the brain than a hard line hookup and could direct thoughts in real-time. Now, we saw Obama's "planting" in the White House. How can someone with no birth certificate and who comes from Kenya be President of these United States? The media. They, you know who, knew the Mindless Drones (Democrats) would vote for him even though he can't speak coherently without his TelePrompTer machine. We have seen the videos and we know the Truth!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, 7:24, Your Schtick is tired. Give it a rest and go start that cult you've always been thinking about. I thought you said before that Obama is a lizard monster alien? Now you admit he's from Kenya? BTW, what videos are you talking about? Obama, though the worst president, was a very good speaker. I'm just saying it. You're wierd, dude.
DeleteWhat's new
ReplyDeleteThe left is only concerned with the “TRUTH” when it serves their purpose.
ReplyDeleteThe story we tell our kids is the truth as a child should hear it. The facts are what they are and we are or should all be taught about dangers of imperialism then and now. Instead of covering it up like Nazis use it as a teaching moment.
YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST. ONLY ERASE IT SO FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN FORGET THE LESSON. THEY WILL THEN CONTINUE TO REPEAT IT.
All nations and territories have been conquered . I am sure the Indians took the land from other Indians or a different culture. This is just liberal bs
