Gandhi statue under fire at Fresno State
2020-07-02
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Officials at Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, State University-Fresno are facing increasing pressure to remove a statue on campus depicting the late Indian freedom leader Mahatma Gandhi.

"How will the historian teach and explain that Gandhi was uncharitable in his attitude towards the Black race and see that we are glorifying him by erecting a statue on our campus?" asks a Change.org petition, which is nearing 5,000 signatures.

"Gandhi was deeply prejudiced against all minorities, from black Africans, Jews, to low-caste Hindus," it states. "He also demonstrated a shocking lack of morality, from sleeping naked with maiden of tender yearss to employing nonviolence merely as a tool of political expediency."

#4  Of course he was immoral, and slept with young girls on either side, naked. But then probably so did MLK.

Who knows ?
