Nicaraguans Tell Christopher Columbus To Suck It

Apparently as enraged as some of you about the blind “celebration” of the “discovery” of the Americas by Columbus, Daniel Ortega, the President of Nicaragua, declared that the country’s schools will no longer observe Columbus Day. According to Prensa Latina:

In [the] opinion of President Daniel Ortega last week on the eve of October 12, the arrival of Spanish colonizers to the “New World” meant the start of genocide against the indigenous population in the America [sic].

The Minister of Education Miguel de Castilla rebaptized Columbus day as “Indigenous Resistance Day.” We assume that the screening of that “reddish-brown” hot cartoon won’t be part of the curriculum anymore.
