Why is it people think we have to destroy instead of preserve our “past” in order to go forward toward the “future?” How will we know if we are going forward if we have no reflection of our past and any mistakes and not make the same mistakes? Everything in the past should be preserved. Certain people are trying to erase the past.
We have archaeologists every day digging up the past all over the world – trying to find out more history of the world and now you have these people trying to cover up the past in America. Does that make any sense. Why can’t we have all of it “hang out there.” In the future, the world will be digging up the dirt in the U.S. trying to find out – why was the U.S. so successful – and that is what all of these NON-AMERICAN people are trying to erase since they weren’t a part of it – only enjoying the fruits of our labor and that is what America is about – sharing with the world.
We don’t mind sharing as long as you abide by our Constitution and laws; but, when you invade our country with the help of the left who is the enemy of the people – which they are doing now – that is a horse of a different color and calls for a border wall and stricter laws which is happening all over the world..
Wake up America – facts are facts and nothing to hide. Be a proud American.
As usual we have all of these foreigners in this country who are envious of our glorious country – even with its flaws. That is why they came here – not to be a part of it – but to destroy it.
We must clean out the colleges/professors who have been hired by our leftist/never-Trump politicians who are a part of the One World Order/wealth distribution to “dumb down our children” with our tax money – and these Presidents of the colleges are helping them.
President Jenkins needs to be called on the carpet and FIRED if he can’t stand up for the Catholic faith. All of this comes from Rome!
The past should be celebrated not destroyed.
*******
Tired of all of the “hate” being preached in D.C. First, you have Kamala Harris and Mazie Hirono preaching against the Knights of Columbus and Catholics.
Then you have Notre Dame covering the Christopher Columbus statue.
Look how Harris and Hirono treated Justice Kavanaugh during his hearing.
Next, one of our future judges being ridiculed by Harris and Hirono because he was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
And now the Covington school being attacked by the fake media with a viral fake video.
Something is wrong with this picture. Senators who are elected to that position are suppose to be THINKERS NOT WINKERS:
The Senate shares with the House of Representatives responsibility for all lawmaking within the United States. For an act of Congress to be valid, both houses must approve an identical document.
The role of the Senate was conceived by the Founding Fathers as a check on the popularly elected House of Representatives.
Now you have Notre Dame covering the statue of Christopher Columbus:
More than 130 years after their debut at the ceremonial entrance to the University of Notre Dame’s Main Building, murals illustrating the life of Christopher Columbus will soon be covered up.
To many, the 12 murals were “blind to the consequences of Columbus’ voyage,” university President Rev. John Jenkins said in a letter Sunday announcing his decision. At their worst? “Demeaning.”
(The past in some cases is “ugly,” but you don’t hide from the past. You learn from the past and its mistakes. President REV Jenkins is only bending to the windS of the Muslims. This is coming from Rome not from D.C.)

University of Notre Dame to cover Christopher Columbus murals

More than 130 years after their debut at the ceremonial entrance to the University of Notre Dame’s Main Building, murals illustrating the life of Christopher Columbus will soon be covered up.
To many, the 12 murals were “blind to the consequences of Columbus’ voyage,” university President Rev. John Jenkins said in a letter Sunday announcing his decision. At their worst? “Demeaning.”

Italian artist Luigi Gregori painted murals that show various stages of Columbus’ voyage to America. The paintings were created in the 1880s after the building’s reconstruction. They were painted directly on the wall of the Main Building, which is called the “centerpiece of Notre Dame’s past and present.”
Since the 1990s, students, faculty and guests who view the murals can read a university-provided brochure meant to give historic context to art many depict as affirming stereotypes. Jenkins now is saying that because the building is so busy, it’s not an appropriate place for contemplation about the art.
Jenkins is ordering that the murals be covered with a woven material that will allow them to be occasionally displayed. The focus now is designating another area on campus to showcase high-resolution photographs of the original work — offering more context than a brochure.

Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown told CNN officials are discussing many ideas for the new display of the photographs, such as adding descriptive memos on iPads and videos.
“This is a good step towards acknowledging the full humanity of those Native people who have come before us,” Marcus Winchester-Jones, president of the Native American Student Association of Notre Dame, said in reaction to the decision.

Students, alumni, staff and representatives of the Native American community have long debated whether the murals should stay or go.
The president’s statement said he recognized the “catastrophe” Columbus’ arrival was for native people and acknowledges what he called the “darker side of the story.”
“We wish to preserve artistic works originally intended to celebrate immigrant Catholics who were marginalized at the time in society, but do so in a way that avoids unintentionally marginalizing others,” Jenkins wrote.

The murals depict Columbus as a pioneer devout in Catholic faith. But, critics say, the realities of his exploration under the auspices of Spanish monarchs told a much less heroic narrative.
Many local governments and states have recognized Indigenous Peoples Day to replace Columbus Day. St. Joseph County, Indiana — where the university is located — has removed Columbus Day from its official holiday schedule.

Some groups have insisted that those who criticize the 15th-century Italian explorer miss his contribution to American society.

“We Knights celebrate his holiday, knowing Columbus gave voice and representation to generations of Catholics, helping pave a path for the diverse society we have today,” the Knights of Columbus, a fraternal benefit society, says on its website. An article on the site says Columbus “was a man of faith and courage, not a monster.”
Jenkins writes the solution will respect Gregori’s murals in context and the reality of what happened to Native Americans in the aftermath of Columbus’ arrival.
The president’s (Jenkins) announcement came “deliberately” in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, his office told CNN.

Again: Why is it people think we have to destroy instead of preserve our “past” in order to go forward toward the “future?” How will we know if we are going forward if we have no reflection of our past and any mistakes and not make the same mistakes?

The past should be celebrated not destroyed. Will we ever learn that we learn from the past – not erase it.
Onward Christian soldiers.
