Dear John xxxxxx,
They laughed at me when I said Columbus was a hero.
But when I showed them the facts…
All those common myths against Christopher Columbus started crumbling.
“So, Columbus wasn’t a villain?” asked one student.
“Of course not!”
“But my professor said he was responsible for genocide,” he said. “What do you say to that?”
Students gathered to listen.
Before I could even start to answer, a radical leftist (with purple hair) cut me off.
“We’re NOT doing Columbus Day anymore,” he belted.
“It’s Indiginous Peoples’ Day!”
Things escalated.
“We need to rip down [expletive] Columbus statues,” he said, “and fix climate change.”
Well, thank God, I knew what to say next.
Because my TFP colleagues published this amazing article & video:

Let me know what you think about it.
And please share the truth with students you know.
As always, thank you for fighting the good fight.
