Idiot College Liberals Ruin Another Holiday
By Wyatt Earp | April 9, 2009
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Political correctness is ruining this country.
“Fall Weekend” will be taking the place of the holiday formerly known as “Columbus Day” at Brown University this fall.
It was bad enough when they destroyed Christmas. “Happy Holidays?” Get bent!
The faculty of the Ivy League university voted at a meeting Tuesday to establish a new academic and administrative holiday in October called “Fall Weekend” that coincides with Columbus Day, but that doesn’t bear the name of the explorer.
Hundreds of Brown students had asked the Providence, R.I. school to stop observing Columbus Day, saying Christopher Columbus’s violent treatment of Native Americans he encountered was inconsistent with Brown’s values.
“I’m very pleased,” Reiko Koyama, a sophomore who led the effort, told the student newspaper, the Brown Daily Herald. “It’s been a long time coming.” (H/T – FOXNews)
Frak you, Reiko – if that is your real name. Almost every famous historical icon had their share of mistakes. George Washington executed his own men at Valley Forge. Maybe we should remove his name from the history books. Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas corpus and censored the American media during the Civil War. Maybe we better tear down that Lincoln Memorial, too.
Oh, and maybe Reiko heard about the Second Sino-Japanese War, where I read this little ditty:
Historians estimate up to 300,000 Chinese were mass murdered(by beheading or buried alive) in the Nanjing Massacre, after the fall of Nanjing on December 13, 1937, while some Japanese deny the existence of a massacre.
Mass murder, huh? Looks like your ancestors had more than their fair share of mistakes, eh Reiko? Remember that when someone at Brown wants to ban The Emperor’s Birthday. Jackass.

Well. If you ignore the Vikings at about 1000 A.D., the first European to land on North American soil was John Cabot. While having foreign ancestory, John Cabot sought financial backing from England and sailed under the English flag.
So, YES change the name of Columbus Day by all means – he only discovered the Bahamas. But change it to the “English” explorer to whom you owe the re-discovery of North America:
John Cabot Day.
Three cheers and a tiger.

“Oh, and maybe Reiko heard about the Second Sino-Japanese War…”
Which brings to mind the atrocities of Unit 731, which have been all but forgotten by history. History as it’s taught in left-wing universities, anyway.

I’m going to protest that this be changed to Autumn Out-Of-School Festival. Using the word “weekend” in the title discriminates against weekdays and could lead to severe self-esteem issues for Tuesday, which tends to feel left out anyway.
In addition, “Fall” is a negative connotation that this season could lead to injuries. The season already has enough issues because of lost leaves without adding to the stereotyping. It’s a seasonal form of racism.
So there.

Alan B – Columbus discovered Sandals and all of the other tropical resorts.
Rick – It’s funny, but not “Ha, ha” funny.
BZ – And we all know their textbooks can’t be wrong!
Captain – Black-anese? Cool!
John D – And since you can count the conservative universities on one hand . . .
Doghouse – Your opinions piqued my interest, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Admiral – And it is never truly correct.

Well, in a nutshell, you cannot make history “never happen”. Just because you changed the record, does not mean that any historical event did not occur. doing so (changing the record) is stupid – you are destined to make the same mistakes when you do that… the liberals in this country really are killing the greatness that is America. Freedom is all about having the ability to have different beliefs and not be punished for it. the Left will say you are not being “understanding” and “accepting” of those different beliefs, but, all the wile, they are not “Understanding” and “accepting” of any belief that conflicts with thiers… “Damn the facts, it’s all about how I feel” should be the Democrat / liberal / leftist / Socialist / Progressive (any group that has so many names should never be trusted) motto…

[...] Okay, this hate mail isn’t exactly directed toward me, but it is directed toward a post I did about Christopher Columbus. [...]
