Breitbart: In reaction to student demands, Pepperdine University will remove the statue of Christopher Columbus from its campus.
School president Andrew Benton said they will “relocate the statue to the Pepperdine campus in Florence, Italy.”
Benton announced the statue’s removal in a letter to students, The letter began:
In 1992 a group of men and women representing the Columbus 500 Congress presented a statue of Christopher Columbus to Pepperdine University. For years the story of Columbus and the fascinating exploration that brought him to the new world was taught in schools across America. It was heroic and exciting. Later, as the impact of the arrival of explorers was assessed more fully, especially as those impacts related to indigenous people, a different view formed. Today, for many, including those within our campus community, stories of conquest and the art associated therewith are painful reminders of loss and human tragedy.
Very sad. I grew up in Malibu, with Pepperdine in my backyard. I earned my MBA there. Sad that they cannot see through the Leftist rage to the truth.
If the snowflakes can’t stomach how our nation came to be, they should all move back to Europe. They would be welcomed. We would not miss them. They would be at peace. We would be overjoyed!
Rewriting and eliminating history right before our eyes. Just like when they eliminated the confederate flag. Wonder what will replace it….sorry CC
Stupid mistake, bending over frontwards to PC.
Now, if they’d replace Columbus with a statue with Balboa, Cortez, and Pizarro slamming back gold goblets of wine and giving each other high fives…!
So just exactly how soon will any mention of Columbus go down the memory hole? If it does there will be no more Columbus, Ohio, no more District of Columbia, Columbia river etc. etc. But the country of Colombia will probably be allowed to stay since it’s in South America.
This is even beyond the nazi book burnings. These people are nazis on steroids. And using the commie lie speak to accuse patriots of free speech of what they themselves are doing.
Where do these “people” come from?
1492 Smallpox Holocaust the sign says. So Columbus invented germ warfare almost four hundred years before germ theory was established! Amazing.
Columbus discovered Italy! I didn’t know that!
Everybody knows, at least according to the old Warner Brothers cartoon that Bugs Bunny discovered America.
I hope all the pepperdine alumni of italian descent remember to send their school contributions to Florence Italy
A good start would be Columbia University.
annie Go Trump
And yet, those a-holes at Pepperdine are living, breathing, and prospering in this very same land that to them has such a bad history of human tragedy! You would think that their hyperactive consciences would force them to relocate to different climes and places
There is nothing more effeminate and gutless than college administrators. In the teacher’s lounge they get away with referring to themselves as professionals. Outside the lounge they’d be laughed at. WAY over compensated. Can’t even stand up to worthless spoiled brat leftist kids who are dumber than Pelosi and Boxer?

@Brad – Yep.
It will all be better, it will take a couple of years to fix what so many have broken over the decades but things are going to be great again.
And I will have posted this video many more times by then: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/white-house-2018/2933531?snl=1

Dan, I’ve made the mistake of following a Sacramento FB page and am not nearly as optimistic as I have been. I convinced we will prevail but I do think things will get bloody first. Especially in California.
If Columbus had not of blazed a trail to America these pussy hat wearing pussies wouldn’t be enrolled at Pepperdine.
Retards.
What stupid, idiotic, brainless, self-serving people(?) who apparently have no knowledge of world history.
It would be smarter and wiser to donate the statue to the city of Genova, the birthplace of Columbus, and not Florence (just because Pepperdrone has an outlet there?).
Misguided liberals, and nothing will ever change their minds except, probably, death.
The stupid is strong with them. 🃏🤡🔥
I’m sure that over the years some of my taxes have gone to Pepperdine. Yet no one asked my opinion about moving this statue.
Hey, little wimpy, ignorant snowflakes — history is bigger than you’ll ever be and will roll on even after you are dead and full of wiggling worms and bugs.
Times change. Columbus will be back. You won’t. Ha ha ha.
