SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The University of Notre Dame will cover murals in a campus building that depict Christopher Columbus in America, the school's president said, following criticism that the images depict Native Americans in stereotypical submissive poses before white European explorers.

The 12 murals created in the 1880s by Luis Gregori were intended to encourage immigrants who had come to the U.S. during a period of anti-Catholic sentiment.

The guy who announced this decision had Rev. as a title. Rev. is not a secular title.

In the era of Bergoglio:
Columbus — BAD
Pedophile Priests — OK

They want all white men in a gulag, in a re-education camp or a gas chamber. The attack on Chris Columbus is just one of many stepping stones along the way.

Go all in Norte Dame, Smash the murals, just like the Taliban.

Men have lost their strength and foundational position in today’s society. They are but whatever women have made them into... obedient, weak, touch feely, and trained to give in to whatever the woman wants. Women have become demanding, never satisfied, and ugly.

I know there are still men and women who live like it was planned... but there are those who have left the position that worked well for years and are now trying to please the hard left liberals, who want everyone but themselves, weak.

It isn’t pretty!

[Trump20162020]

Remember the Left mocking John Ashcroft for covering up that Spirit of Justice statue? This is their version of that nonsense, and it’s just as stupid-looking to most people despite what they may want to believe.

Columbus brought Christianity to people who lived in darkness. Oh, the horror...

In hindsight, was it a sound decision to extend admission opportunities to non Catholics? Or even to become a member of the NCAA?

Oh??

Goodbye, Columbus

[Elsie]

It's as of there is some force behind the move to deny that the "white man" came from Europe and established and built this country.

It was the VIKINGS!!!
