Good for the alumni! Sane people everywhere need to speak up without letup against the premeditated forcing of idiotic edicts in every institution of society

“They must be racists.”

Father Serra is the racist. He enslaved and oppressed the Native Californians.

That’s dogma today.

They hate Father Serra.

You know, with all this fuss, I got into some OLD books, and read up on the Franciscan Monk. He was a GREAT soul. And the friends he got to follow him and transform California. They should be grateful.

I am surprised that the Hispanics of California have not protested the removal of St. Junipero Serra’s statue.

It shows how little they know or care about their own history.

Father Serra did not enslaved anybody!
He lived saintly life, trading university professorship for missionary hardship. Living in poverty. Walking from Veracruz to California and back and forth.
He lived under Spanish Bourbon king Carlos III and was a contemporary of our Founding Fathers. The abuses of the conquistadores were long over. Spanish empire was in terminal decay.
Of course, the idiots who think they know everything, are equating him with Cortez and other rough guys who did the enslaving. But they lived like 200 years before Father Serra.
Blaming Father Serra for their sins is like blaming us for the abuses of the slaveowners of the Early USA, also about 200 years separation.
Oh, but CRT are blaming us for their sins too!
