Historic Catholic marker deemed ‘racist symbol’ removed by University of California Santa Cruz
A university in California removed a historical symbol from its campus Friday in an effort to be “more inclusive” after a years-long campaign by Native American community members argued the marker highlighted a period of racism in the state.
The El Camino Real Bell was removed from the University of California Santa Cruz after administrators had several discussions with members of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and other community members who felt that the bell marker glorified a period of time when Spanish missionaries dehumanized their ancestors and culture and enslaved those who converted to Christianity.
Vice Chancellor of Business and Administrative Services Sarah Latham said the school moved forward with the removal “in support of efforts to be more inclusive.”
The cast-iron bell, named after the route connecting 21 Franciscan missions, was one of hundreds of displays placed across highways in California in 1906 as a way to honor the state’s “Hispanic past” and “expand tourism,” UCSC said in a press release.
“The bell marker, which memorializes the California Missions and an imagined route of travel that once connected them, is viewed by the Amah Mutsun and many other California indigenous people as a racist symbol that glorifies the domination and dehumanization of their ancestors,” the release continued.

Tyrant Culture obsessively seeks social chaos
– social chaos weakens society, and facilities subjugation
– vandalizing Civil War statues, flag burning, ubiquitous homelessness, floods of illegal immigrants, terrorist attacks, knockout game, Antifa riots, vicious gangsta rap, horrible graffiti, Black Lives Matter, political shootings, sanctuary cities, Islamist floods etc., etc., etc., ad nauseam, and ad infinitum
– all designed to cause social chaos and social uncertainty
– and replicate Detroit in every city
– and this will continue until tyrant culture is extirpated

Any Mexicans, Hondurans, El Salvadorans, etc., I know don’t care one iota about some bell and they think even less about the University of CA and what it does.

Santa Cruz campus has been a center of communism since it opened. I had a high school classmate who became a philosophy prof. at Santa Cruz. He was a Hegelian. You reap what you sow.

BFD. Meanwhile the University constantly increases enrollment and doesn’t provide enough housing for their students. Don’t want to mar the beauty of the natural landscape. “Indigenous” native born Santa Cruzans have been completely priced out of the housing market. Students with affluent parents completely destroyed the housing market because the students can live double, triple, etc. to a room. Children who are born recently in SC grow up with the knowledge they absolutely won’t be able to stay. The UC is the major employer and they’ve destroyed the town. But by all means, overpaid UC administrators, feel good about yourselves by removing a bell no one knew existed.

Yes, the Spanish treated the indians much worse than the anglos. Now we need to change the names of all those cities named after saints, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Ysidro, and dozens more. Erase history because you can.

For the Santa Cruz Bell see the Buddhas of Banyan the Civil war statues etc etc …….
There is a Neo Marxist/islamic alliance that is determined to wipe out the true past of human achievement and teachings from history.
Unless we stand firm against these outrages our children will inherit a lie.
THE PAST IS THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE!

There is ONLY 1 race, the HUMAN race. When God did the DIASPORA, he sent people to all parts of the planet and they adapted with skin color. Everyone is the same inside. Except people who are too ignorant to realize it…

I agree, America’s obsession over race will be its undoing. We should not fall into the left’s trap of identity politics.

California is now a separate country from the U.S. and it’s a 3rd world country. A wall should be built around it to keep people from flooding their filth into other states!

The driving force behind the recent spate of attacks on our history is ISLAM. The muslims tell the communists and the orders are passed down to school admin., etc. You know islam does not permit any statues or images of humans or animals and as they grow in power will destroy all of our heritage as they destroyed the Buddahs. Either we proscribe islam or they will proscribe Western Civilization.

Almost everything part of Western history and culture is somehow “offensive” or “racist” or “problematic” or “controversial” to the leftists today. They need to grow up and start focusing on truly serious issues, like the threat of terrorism to the world.
