Columbus Day
Alex Glass
I do not think Columbus Day should be celebrated or thought of as a bad day. Right now most kids don't even acknowledge Columbus Day (mainly because they don’t get a day off from school), which is fine because Columbus was a bad person. He killed and did many bad and nasty things to the native people. Christopher Columbus himself wrote in his journal “let us in the name of holy trinity go on selling all the slaves that can be sold”. If you do want to do something on Columbus Day think of the many natives that were enslaved and died all because of Columbus. It should be a sad day but note weeping and sobbing because there have been worse events. If Columbus Day were to be celebrated it should not be a good one.
