St. Louis University Removes Controversial Statue of Priest and Natives - ICTMN.com: "This message to American Indians is simple: 'You do not belong here if you do not submit to our culture and our religion,'" wrote Ryan McKinley in The University News. McKinley stressed that SLU, a private Catholic University, was "likely unintentionally" committing the racial slight.
The statue will now be displayed in the University's art museum. The usual debate over "political correctness" has ensued, particularly in the comments section at the conservative-leaning Washington Times. Some pro-statue commenters feel the move ignores the historical fact that, within the dark context of colonialism, De Smet was unquestionably one of the good guys.
