by Joseph Saraceno
The city council votes to replace Columbus day for Indigenous peoples day.
Why not set aside another holiday for Indigenous people? Instead they insult Western Culture, the Catholic Church, Italian communities and one of the greatest hero’s that ever lived, Christopher Columbus. Where is the outcry from Bishop Gomez, Cardinal Mahony or Mayor Garcetti?
