Every Columbus Day is the same:  Christopher Columbus is attacked.  His statues are desecrated.  Public monuments in his honor are threatened or removed.  Every year, more states and cities change Columbus Day to “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” or “Native Americans’ Day.” And left-wing professors smear the once-revered hero who discovered America in 1492.

Should Columbus be vilified instead of honored? Was he really a villain? Should we believe these attacks on his good name and character? This post will debunk the most common lies about Columbus.
