Cabrillo Asks Community to Assist with Name Change
Good Times Santa Cruz ^ | January 31, 2023 | Todd Guild

Two months after the Cabrillo College Board of Trustees approved a plan to rename the institution, it is seeking proposals from the public. The decision to change the name came after several meetings and public forums that involved delving deep into the history of its namesake, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, and his nefarious acts.

Cabrillo was a Spanish explorer who came to the California Coast around 1542. During his explorations, he brutalized and subjugated the Amah Mutsun people already living in California. He became one of many Europeans whose exploits made their way into the history books but whose misdeeds were whitewashed, and accomplishments inflated.


Cabrillo actually never landed on the Central Coast of California. He hung out in San Diego and the Channel Islands. He never met any of the Amah Mutsun folks let alone brutalized and subjugated them. There is a link to a survey on the name change. I voted to leave it Cabrillo College. But the poll asks you your gender identity, race and age. As an old white guy my vote will probably be thrown out.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

They can rename Cabrillo College to Pablo Escobar College.
It has a nice ring to it. Si?

Sounds like they should call it Amah Mutzun college to commemorate their extinction by this dude. Seems reasonable. Of course I never heard of any of it until today.

My recommendation for a new name reflects the current cultural values of the college:

Pendejo Pacific College

“I voted to leave it Cabrillo College. But the poll asks you your gender identity, race and age. As an old white guy my vote will probably be thrown out.”

As far as the race, age, gender question just say that you’re a 20 something, Native American lesbian pan-whatever just to throw a monkey wrench in it.

It’s not like you have to be truthful answering such silly irrelevant questions.

“Jose Jimenez Space Cadet University is my recommendation.”

José Jiménez: “My name... José Jiménez.”

Ed Sullivan: “Well, now I see you have some of your space equipment with you. Uh, what is that called, the crash helmet?”

José Jiménez: “Oh, I hope not.”

Ed Sullivan: “Now, what do you consider the most important thing in rocket travel?”

José Jiménez: “To me the most important thing in the rocket travel is the blast-off.”

Ed Sullivan: “The blast-off.”

José Jiménez: “I always take a blast before I take off. Otherwise I wouldn’t go near that thing.”

Nah, leave it. The "cultural appropriation" hypocrisy adds to the mystique.
