Balboa statue for Balboa Park unlikely
The language used to describe Spain's role in the Americas as "a history of greed, genocide, murder and rape of native people" is inflammatory, derisive and even libelous used by a writer who has not studied the accounts of the Spanish presence in the Americas. It is precisely this language which is devisive and unworthy of any person speaking on the subject of a statue of Balboa in Balboa Park. Shameful! Mr Benayas deserves due process which is to make his case to the committee, answer any questions the committee might pose, and have a vote called. This is the way we conduct business in our great democracy, is it not?— February 18, 2018 8:01 p.m.
