Columbus Exposed!

Columbus Exposed!

He was “very, very mean,” “bossy,” an all around “bad guy.”

No, I’m not talking about your junior high gym teacher, or Jon Corzine, Phil Spector, or Roman Polanski. I’m talking about the man who discovered America in 1492, Christopher Columbus.

That invective is just part of the Politically Correct drivel which, along with the “Umm, Umm, Umm, Barack Hussein Obama” paean to our leader’s greatness, is being drilled into the heads of impressionable kids today by teachers who have been taught to propagandize according to National Education Association standards.

Of course, the explorer from Genoa didn’t really “discover” America. It was never lost and the still un-named continent was already inhabited by native peoples who had discovered it eons before and those noble savages had been busily hunting and warring on it ever since.

After teachers get finished with them, kids come away “with a more nuanced picture of Columbus than the noble discoverer often portrayed in pop culture and legend:” http://bit.ly/4eRath

That’s saying a mouthful!

The nuances include Columbus’ failures, getting lost searching for the Indies, “the suffering of indigenous populations,” their decimation by diseases brought by future settlers, and generally making life awful for the “Indians” who preferred their ancient lifestyle and teepees to the thought of European culture.

Needless to say, the federal Department of Education . . .
