Corruption In School Systems Essays - Christopher Columbus

Corruption In School Systems It all started when I was just a little tike sitting in some *censored*ed up class room in which I would get well accustomed to one day. I mean really; twelve years of ones life in an institution of which they have no control over? Learning about how Christopher Colubus was a great navigator and pioneer, but not learning of the genocide he perpetuated throughout Haiti and many other third world countrys. This sack of *censored* was worse than Hitler. An estimated 8,000,000 native Americans which he was directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of. I'll tell you why we here about Hitler's crusade and not Columbus's. The simple fact is that our society and schools are so *censored*ing Eurocentric that anything invented by or discovered by non whites is pretty much un heard of. The only non European part of our history that is taught is Martin Luther King. And you know why?; it's because he believed that when slapped you should turn the other cheek and take it. Why not Malcom X? Because he realized that if you wanted something fronm the hostile white race, the only way was to use hostility. You fight fire with rivers, not rain drops. And you wonder why minorities do so poorly in school. They don't give a flying *censored* about the lies being given, they know that native Indians were living in America thousands of years before Columbus "discovered" it. The schooling system has created a mythical history based on the falsifacation of European conquest. I could think of a million things better to do with twelve years of a persons life.
