San Francisco Schools Boss is ignorant about our founding fathers

Daily Caller: The school board president, Matt Haney, wants to rename any school associated with anyone who owned any slaves or who is otherwise a “problematic” deceased white male, reports the San Francisco Examiner. Haney wants the schools to be named after black people homosexuals, lesbians and cross dressers instead. 

Here are the facts:

The Spanish missions in California comprise a series of 21 religious outposts; established by Catholic priests of the Franciscan order between 1769 and 1833, to expand Christianity among the Native Americans northwards into what is today the U.S. state of California.


So, San Francisco how did you put this idiot in charge of your schools?

In passing, let me note the nearly independent founding of California from Mexico:

Mexico achieved independence in 1821, taking Alta California along with it, but the missions maintained authority over native neophytes and control of vast land holdings until the 1830s. The Alta California government secularized the missions after the passage of the Mexican secularization act of 1833. This divided the mission lands into land grants, which became many of the Ranchos of California.

Hardly a shred of evidence that California is Northern Mexico.  How did our founding fathers do?

In the end, the missions had mixed results in their objectives: to convert, educate, and "civilize" the indigenous population and transform the natives into Spanish colonial citizens. Despite the fact that the original administrative system of Spanish missions no longer survives, still the impact that the mission-system has had on California culture, economics, and place histories can yet be felt to this day. Today, the surviving mission buildings are the state's oldest structures, and its most-visited historic monuments.

What is my opinion?

We are the original Hispanic nation, we define Hispanic, we speak Spanish, a better Spanish then Mexico.  We created Mexican  food,not Mexico.  We did not run around in  wigs and pontificate, we got the agricultural and trade system working.

But we were left with the catholic philosophy, the hierarchical management of social order.
