STUDENTS VOTE TO RENAME COLUMBUS DAY ‘INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S DAY


I love talking to students in their schools from Sandbox to College!
The best times about my talking tours was while sitting on the floor with Elementary school children, walking around an auditorium asking and answering questions with young adults in high school and sitting at any roundtable at any and all Universities.
The student government at Arizona State University has voted to change Columbus Day to Indigenous People Day. The Tempe Undergraduate Student Government Senate passed Bill 44 to rename the holiday after contentious debate on campus.
Like it or not America, this Columbus, like all of the rest of our first invaders was a ruthless greedy mass killer no more worthy of a federal day named after him they our latest four mass killers!
If nothing else at the very least Remove that day as one of our holidays before the Fiscal Cliff deadline!
