Notre Dame to Cover Up Christopher Columbus Murals
NBC News ^ | 1/21/2019

Posted on 01/21/2019 9:05:01 PM PST by ppaul

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. But they conceal another side of Columbus: the exploitation and repression of Native Americans, said the Rev. John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame...

This is beginning to look like a place run by the Red Queen in the Alice and Wonderland story.

Where does it end?

There is a sickness in the land, and in the final throws of this blight, nobody will be safe, even the Leftists who fought tooth and nail to end this nation as we knew it.

They never bothered to find a government or land that was run better. They just decided to destroy what we have.

The fool administration at ND began the fast decline when they gave pro-abortionist fraud nobama an “honorary “ doctorate. Nothing is honorable about that nitwit.

Lets burn some books while we’re at it - this is the type of thinking you get from the likes of the Taliban and Nazis. Shame on Notre Dame - before long they’ll be dynamiting touch down Jesus.

Why don’t they just go ahead and build a grand mosque on campus complete with call to prayer towers?

Just remember that Jenkins was the same lowlife that not only invited the vile pro abortionist Obama to give a commencement address but also conferred an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on this horrible man. Since then Notre Dame has been a cursed place. When the post “pope” Francis reckoning comes, Catholics themselves will deal with Jenkins and his evil ilk.

“Where does it end?”

Wrong question. You must ask, “Where does it begin?”

And the correct answer: “2008.”

That was the first time anyone could be proud of our country.

Not surprising considering the corruption at the Vatican.

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.

Once we erase that history, what will we replace it with? What is the alternate theory for how America came to be?

Have the white haters thought of this?

Here are my random thoughts. Let's say the white hating people are correct, and that Columbus "discovering America" was a very bad thing, and they could go back in time and sink his boats on the way here. Do they think that the advanced European "white" civilization would NEVER "discover America" and settle it?

My point is, they don't have a problem with Columbus "per se", they seem to have a problem with white Europeans settling North America and building a civilization here.

So it's not a Columbus problem. It's a white people problem.

Simple as that.

Burn the books! Burn the museums!

Good grief what a f’d up society we’ve become. The USA has become a total joke in just a few decades of pc culture.

Don’t count on it. The left has taken over the church as well.

Just wondering when they’re going to start covering up the portraits of some of their higher-level clergy who have either participated in or covered up pedophilia.
It would be a small contribution to the “cleansing process,” if those portraits were burned.

Agreed. We are seeing the rapid destruction of our country. I have lost hope that any political solution is going to solve this. How long before true street chaos? 6 years? 6 months?

The largest and most dangerous political scandal in us history happened 2 yrs ago. Not a single coup plotter has been arrested. Instead, the victim of the coup attempt is under investigation.

The leftists took over corporate America, the church, education, healthcare, media... the only thing left is to disarm us so they can exterminate us.

The only hope I have is from the example, of all people, the French
