There's going to be a campus vote for undergraduates at The Ohio State University this evening.
It's going to be contentious to be sure. In question will be whether to keep the Columbus Day name for a vacation day or change the present name to Indigenous People's Day.
The anticipation for me is understandingly overwhelming. My initial response was 'Who cares'.
The way I see it is if the naysayers want to make a significant impact in denigrating Columbus they would take a trip to his burial site in Seville Spain, dig up his bones and throw them in the nearest body of water. Sadly, though, it might be a waste of their time. Nobody is certain if these are his remains or those of his brother.
Guys on campus. You can change a name but you cannot change history.
