United Native America press release
Columbus Day is "Child Abuse Day" In Americas schools
10-1-02
Columbus Day is "Child Abuse Day" in Americas schools and your tax dollars are paying for it! Americas school children are being physically punished with whippings, detentions, scolding, suspension, made to stand in the corner of the class room plus put down in front of class mates for telling the truth about Columbus.
This is an outrage for Americas children being treated this way for knowing and saying the truth about Christopher Columbus in our nations schools. It's a fact our children are being treated in this manner by teachers around the nation, Columbus Day is a federal tax paid national holiday.
It's a national sick joke for our tax dollars to pay for this man's holiday, our children are taught he is a hero, a person to be looked up to. The true history of Columbus cannot be taught to our school children because it's to disturbing, parents are telling their children he is no hero, they are finding out he was an Indian slave trader, tortured Indians, destroyed their homes and communities.
Seventeen states have drooped Columbus Day as a state holiday, the state of South Dakota has changed it to Native American Day, this should happen nation wide, the Italian community should drop Columbus Day and have Italian Heritage Day. Columbus is the Hitler of the Americas!
