Will “Mo-ham-mad” be recognized as the slaver he was???
The very idea of the university is racist.
“Shut that mf down!”
That's their agenda in a nutshell: replacing American history with their politically correct pseudohistory. Early colonists, Founding Fathers, military commanders, "dead white male" writers, and most Presidents prior to Obama are out, Huey Newton and Malcolm X are in. They may allow Cesar Chavez his place on a pedestal, but now even he may be suspect because he was against illegal immigration.
Truth is whatever is useful to further their power. Fact is that the Indians in California were doing reasonably well until after 1846.
Just an expansion of the Black Legend spread by Elizabeths government to justify the actions of pirates like Drake against Spanish shipping. This against the background of the end of the alliance between England and Spain that went back to the early 1500s and the marriage of Henry and Mary. The Spanish colonized upper California about the same time that the Americans colonized the Ohio Valley and history tells us who was better off in 1846, the California Indians or the Indians who had once lived in the Ohio Valley.
