As with most episodes of misguided outrage and mass hysteria from the liberal left's culture war of political correctness, this latest campaign against Gaetano Russo's iconic Columbus statue reveals their blatant hypocrisy and disregard for the very immigrant story they claim to champion. 

A basic understanding of the actual history behind the Columbus Circle statue bears this out, for it would be inaccurate to assume, as left-wing PC warriors do, that the statue was intended simply as a homage to a single man. In fact, the truth reveals a much richer American success story that should be celebrated, instead of becoming the latest sacrifice on the altar of political correctness and revisionist history.
