Yeah, f the CC$$ and bs posturing about equity. We need the truth which the textbook and tech corporations will never standardize and we need to rename all the schools named after racist white plutocratic men!. -- The United States is a society awash in false propaganda, indoctrination and revisionist “history.” Most Americans have been unwittingly victimized by a system that instructs them to hate the oppressed and love those carrying out the evil act of oppressing. They have been taught to extol that which is loathsome. From Christopher Columbus to Ronald Reagan, Americans mindlessly celebrate these kinds of nefarious characters by naming holidays, monuments and airports in their honor. If the legendary football coach of Penn State, Joe Paterno, can have his statue torn down (rightfully so) by that school’s officials for not coming forward to report the crimes of a pedophile on his coaching staff, then how can there exist a US holiday celebrating the life of Columbus – a man who murdered and mutilated countless indigenous children? That was a bit of a rhetorical query, however the answer rests on the foundation that the US is a quagmire of hypocrisy. Despite the fact that Christopher Columbus began the genocide against the native men, women and children of the Americas, he is force-fed to children throughout the US. No child should be taught to think of Columbus as anything but a monster, however it is even more insidious that youth of color are indoctrinated with lies that paint his ilk as noble human beings. It should be considered mental cruelty to brainwash African/black students to revere slave masters like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson as “Founding Fathers.” These reprehensible hypocrites, who spoke of “liberty” for all men, clearly did not intend for that message to carry over to anyone who was non-white. The shiftless slaveholding class framed the US Constitution explicitly for white people. There should be little doubt that the African/black youth of today would have been held captive as slaves if they were anywhere within the vicinity of those “Founding Fathers’” plantations.
