Taking the Columbus statue away will cause DIVISION ! What are you trying to accomplish by doing this? EDUCATE what he accomplished! The cancel culture needs to get educated !!

There is a separate holiday for Indigenous People that should be celebrated. It is an insult to Italian-Americans who celebrate Columbus Day as a symbol of our heritage. Most of what has been said about Columbus is a lie - he was a very religious and was a great support of the indigenous people, except for the Caribs (cannibals) who themselves raped, enslaved and murdered innocent Tianno Indians. Read history not Marxist Lies!

Niche.com ranks Norwich as a C- in academics but at least they have an A in diversity. The school board obviously doesn’t have the intellect to see through the Columbus-was-a-racist ruse and what destruction of our national heritage will do the future of their students. Look at Baltimore, where they threw the Columbus statue in the harbor and STILL this: https://kutv.com/news/nation-world/baltimore-student-passes-3-classes-in-four-years-ranks-near-top-half-of-class-with-013-g. Want fries with that, Norwich alumni? PATHETIC.

Christopher Columbus was an explorer, a navigator who discovered a new world. He brought Catholicism with him

This is NO way to foster peace and unity. We all should have our day and pride of heritage.

Columbus Day is a great day of recognition for the those of Italian heritage. It'd also be a great opportunity to tell the truth about his life.
