    If you want to do something then give me the reason to do so. He landed in the Americas.

    America is more than the USA. He discovered the new world. That's what he is honored for.

    1) Columbus kidnapped a Carib woman and gave her to a crew member to rape
    2) On Hispaniola, a member of Columbus's crew publicly cut off an Indian's ears to shock others into submission
    3) Columbus kidnapped and enslaved more than a thousand people on Hispaniola
    4) Columbus forced Indians to collect gold for him or else die
    5) About 50,000 Indians committed mass suicide rather than comply with the Spanish
    6) 56 years after Columbus's first voyage, only 500 out of 300,000 Indians remained on Hispaniola
    7) Settlers under Columbus sold 9- and 10-year-old girls into sexual slavery
    8.) Indian slaves were beheaded when their Spanish captors couldn't be bothered to untie them

    He did not discover the new world.
    There were already people here and it had been previously discovered.
    Irish monks “discovered” it first.
    Then the vikings “discovered” it after they did.
    Then Columbus came and raped, tortured, enslaved and murdered the indigenous people afterwards.

    He may have opened the new world up for colonization, but he didn't discover anything.

    FFS our education system has failed so many.

    The Democrats COULD be working with Republicans to make America better for citizens. Are they doing that? Hell NO!. The continue down the path of "Get Trump at all Cost". Warren is one of them. I think she will sell anyone down the river to be President. It's why she should NEVER be.

    Kind of like republicans did with Obama?
    Remember the “party of no”?

    That’s the issue i have with both parties, they believe that every thing they do — every quasi legal, questionably moral, anti country / constitution — will be forgotten about and the next time they are not in power it wont be used against them. This is how we see the end of democracy in this country, by not holding “our team” responsible.

    Columbus should be considered a great man. The history surrounding him has been perverted through political correctness.

    That's bull. The europeans, and the natives had no ideas how communicable disease prevention worked as bacteriology as a science wasn't invented until the 19th centuries. Beside, we have found squeletons of native predating the first european that showed signs of syphilis and small pox has been present in human histry since 10,000BC at least. That the Europeans who were used to live in close quarter, urban area had developped a resistance that the free roaming native didn't doesn't mean that the european were to blame.

    As for hygene, the native were none too clean either. In fact, those who still lives in their traditional way, Innus, Laplander, Amazon tribes, Have abysmal hygene TODAY.

    The education system is failing this generation, not mine. Kids today are being indoctrinated, not educated.

    Right, because the natives were ever so peaceful. In North America they enslaved each other, scalped people, and did all sorts of terrible things. In South America they enslaved people, sacrificed them to blood gods, and hadn't even invented the wheel. Columbus was the best thing that ever happened to those savages...

    And what generation do you believe set up our current education system?

    Your generation benefitted from the sacrifices and effort previous generations undertook.
    Your generation squandered and then destroyed those institutions.

    Killing them all off was the best thing that happened to them? Or was the enslavement the best part?

    They wouldn't have a day if they were all killed off, they would have been forgotten. Enough of them survived that liberals whine for them now. Its sort of funny, progress came to America and Progressives are against it, go figure...

    The hippies from my generation that never grew up set up the current education system. It's run by new age Marxists. They never had to live in the real world. They're lifelong academics, protected from reality.

    You think that the Grateful Dead is over four hundred years old. You have never heard of confederations and peace pacts between tribes and how several tribes were not warlike at all?
    You'd better read a little on the history of US injuns before you open mouth with fork tongue again.

    If you have a point, make it. The natives were stone age savages, the coming of the Europeans brought them into the modern world. Why would people oppose that? Oddly the only ones whining about it, do so with the most modern technology available. I'd take you folks more seriously if you made your statements in smoke signals instead of the hypocritical manner you have chosen...
