Am I the only one that despises this holiday? My daughter came home from school excited to tell me what they learned about it.. "Columbus came to America and helped all the poor natives learn how to live the right way. "

Just no. The history that is being taught is so convoluted and full of lies.

Being a member of a federally recognized tribe, it's insane that they will still not teach the truth of what happened back then. Native history is so overlooked and cheapened to Columbus day and thanksgiving.
