(CNS photo/David Zandman via Reuters) Denver Newsroom, Feb 22, 2021 / 07:01 pm (CNA).- Amid calls from California activists to drop vandalism charges against five assailants who destroyed a statue of St. Junipero Serra last year, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco warned that doing so would set a dangerous precedent. “If a crime caught on videotape and witnessed by the police were not to have been prosecuted, it would have sent a profoundly disturbing message to the hundreds of thousands of people of faith in Marin County: churches, synagogues, mosques and temples are at the mercy of small mobs,” Cordileone said in a Feb. 19 statement.

The deeds of a long-dead Italian explorer have been celebrated in the U.S. for over 80 years. But in Montana, Senate Bill 146 aims to remove Columbus Day from the docket of state holidays and replace it with Indigenous Peoplesâ Day. Seven other states â Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, South Dakota, Vermont and Oregon â have already replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoplesâ Day, while Alabama and Oklahoma celebrate both holidays.  Montana Sen. Shane Morigeau wrote and sponsored the bill. This is not the first time he has brought this issue up in the legislature. Morigeau brought forth a similar bill in 2019, but it was killed in the Senateâs State Administration Committee. As of Monday, Feb. 15, SB 146 was in that very same committee.Â
Peterson is one of the founders of the progressive educational publication, Rethinking Schools. It published the book, Rethinking Columbus, which became an instant best seller starting in the early 90s. It outlined how Christopher Columbus was not a heroic explorer, but rather an exploiter of the riches in the New World, killing and enslaving the peoples of the Caribbean. Given that much of the “rethinking” started in Milwaukee, and that many school districts around the country have already established Indigenous Peoples’ Day, it is surprising that it took so long for MPS to come to this resolution. A defeat of a Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) resolution in January 2020 calling for the end of Native American school mascots prompted the Milwaukee board to take stronger action, says Peterson. It took another year for WASB to pass a resolution that questioned the use of racial depictions in school mascots and logos.

Even with a character you dislike, you should sympathise. I had to remember what I’d learned on stage – when characters exuded hope or delusional self-belief, the audience were endeared to them.” When we speak, Demetriou is in LA filming The Afterparty, a new show with Tiffany Haddish. It all sounds far from the basements and pubs of UK live comedy, but that’s where Demetriou started out and where the character of chaotic Greek-Cypriot letting agent Stath, who is set to return in a third series for Channel 4, first began to take shape.
