"They hid all the evidence," said Martinez. "Thanks to that act, we have been allowed to discover a chapter we were unaware of in the conquest of Mexico."

Hate to tell the scholar, but I've seen the evidence written about years ago; back before PC took hold. We studied this in a middle school social studies class. Of course, the teacher there (last of a dying breed) also stated that he was saddened by the rewriting of history and that future students would not get a full education due to concerns we may actually be offended by others and not just ourselves. I need to add that he used an old social science book and not our current, timid, "feel good", hate America books. These were the same titles, by the same company, but 30 years apart in publication.

The truth can only be hidden so long.

I remember reading History of the Conquest of Mexico, forgot by who. It detailed a number of 'bbq' eat outs and other peaceful hobbies.

A full generation is usually enough.

If it's any consolation, this has been taught (at least at UNF) for several years now.

The attitude towards the colonization of the New World seems to be "Horrific stuff happened on both sides of the equation. Let's look at the whole mess." I thought it was rather enlightened of the Prof. (unlike others) to not spread Leftist agitprop.
