Another one bites the dust. The left is systematically trying erase our nations and worlds history.

Personal opinion: why waste time and money covering up murals? The guy's "genocide" was totally unintentional. How was he supposed to know that indigenous people had never gotten a cold before?

Historical perspective: there was really nothing remarkable about Columbus worth celebrating. He was a career failure who somehow talked Spanish royalty into giving him ships, managed to crash the most expensive one into a rock, stumbled across an island and just assumed it was India, realized his mistake, then went home and told the king of Spain that they hadn't found any tea, but there were a bunch of dudes in funny clothing who had gold over there. He didn't even discover North America. That was the Vikings centuries prior to Columbus mucking around. It's kind of like being taught in elementary school that Magellan was the first man to circumnavigate the globe even though he died around the halfway point, and it was his crew under a new captain that were the first to do it.
