    It’s that time of year again:

    Remember to talk to your kids about Christopher Columbus. The story they are getting from school is incomplete white-wash revisionist history.

    Not saying to teach your 1st graders about rape and pillage, but, ya know, make sure they know he’s not a peachy hero.

    Especially if you are Italian-American. We really are the worst with the Columbus worship.

      Christopher Columbus went to hurt the Natives!
      On behalf of the Empires in Europe, they killed, enslaved, and poisoned many until the Natives lost their rights!
