University of Notre Dame to cover murals of Christopher Columbus
The College Fix, Jan 21, 2019, Jennifer Kabbany

The University of Notre Dame is set to cover a series of historic Christopher Columbus murals prominently displayed in a central building on campus.

Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins announced Sunday that Columbus’s arrival to the new world “was nothing short of a catastrophe” for the native peoples.

“Whatever else Columbus’s arrival brought, for these peoples it led to exploitation, expropriation of land, repression of vibrant cultures, enslavement, and new diseases causing epidemics that killed millions,” Jenkins stated.

With that, the murals — painted on the walls of the Catholic university’s main building in 1884 — will be covered and a committee established to decide their longterm fate.

Next they'll cover up the ass-whipping Clemson gave them.

The march is turning into a stampede against history.

What are they going to do some time in the future when they discover many Indian tribes engaged in constant, bloody warfare slaughtering their enemies, taking their land,  and making many of them slaves?

At the time Bill de Blasio was running for re-election in New York City the nation was going through a spasm of tearing down confederate monuments. Bill de Blasio, being a good little cultural Marxist, set up a commission to check the political correctness of the hundreds of statutes and monuments that dot the city. There was even a threat of tearing down the iconic statue of Christopher Columbus located in Columbus Circle. Now, it was personal.

Individuals like the cardinal of NYC, and civic groups, including the Knights of Columbus, loudly registered their displeasure at this idea.

Well, someone must have gotten to de Blasio and reminded him that, in a city of millions with Italian ancestry and a rather large annual Columbus Day parade, removing Christopher Columbus would be the kiss of death for any politician – not even a democrat would be immune from fallout.

Well, after that, we never heard another word from the commission. And of course de Blasio went on to win re-election.

They'll deny that ever happened and call anyone who says it did a racist.
