Back when I was ranting about Boomers, I came across this ludicrous blog maintained by a preening, moralistic Canadian female Boomer. I stay subscribed because it keeps me acquainted with how out-of-touch and hysterical professional women of a certain age are. Add to that the fact that she’s Canadian, and it’s like a window into instant lunacy.
Today is Columbus Day in the United States, the day that commemorates Columbus’s voyage to the Americas in 1492. It’s one of the most significant events in human history—as I tell my American History students, “we wouldn’t be here if Columbus hadn’t made his voyages”—yet the social justice, Cultural Marxist revisionist scolds want to do away with the holiday entirely, replacing it instead with “Indigenous People’s Day.”
The thrust of the proposed (or, as is the way with SJWs, demanded) name change is that Columbus was a genocidal, white male meanie who defrauded and murdered peace-loving Native Americans (who had the gall to mislabel Indians!), so instead we should celebrate the contributions of Stone Age cannibals.
