The University of California, Santa Cruz has taken down a cast-iron bell that memorialized Catholic missions in the state after a Native American group argued it was a symbol of racism and oppression.
School employees removed the bell from its spot outside the Hahn Student Services Building during a ceremony Friday.
The school decided to remove the bell after discussions over the past year with Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, a group of Native Americans along California's Monterey Bay.
quote:
The group's chairman "spoke of the historical injustices and oppression that the bell represents to the Amah Mutsun and indigenous populations," Sarah Latham, the university's vice chancellor for business and administrative services, said in a post last week on the school's website.
"It was such a compelling statement of impact and I am pleased we have been able to work in partnership with them on the removal. Our students have also given voice to the need to remove the bell."
The bell is one of many that can be found across California memorializing the missions, and they're "viewed by many populations as a symbol of racism and dehumanization of their ancestors," the university's post reads.

The only people offended by it were those who had to purposefully go out hunting for something to be offended by.

Give the Monterrey Bay indians a bell, next they'll want their bay back and all the land that adjoins it.

Nothing screams racism like a Jewish man preaching “love one another.”
Good lord.

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California...
Now run by the the local tribespeople

UC Santa Cruz is more liberal than UC Berkeley.

I believe the people that bowed to the lunacy live in houses. Their houses are on land that was stolen from the Indians. Indians lived in teepees.
These people must pay to tear their homes down, returning the land to it's original pristine condition, and return it to it's rightful owners. The personal financial burden to them is a small price to pay for the virtue gained.
If they don't do it, they are hypocrites to spend other people's money to take a fricking bell down.
