The social justice movement among America’s youth that is tearing down statues of Christopher Columbus is based on a warped history of him, on a story that has been rewritten and taught in America’s schools, Dr. Robert Royal, director of the Faith and Reason Institute in Washington and author of “Columbus and the Crisis of the West,” told The Epoch Times.
