Leftist Hero Cesar Chavez Erased From Colleges Across the Country
“The abuse allegations appear to be part of a larger pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Chavez, much of which has never been publicly revealed”

The College Fix reports:
Universities nationwide erase Cesar Chavez memorials after sex assault allegations
While March 31 is Cesar Chavez Day, one might be hard-pressed to find a university that will mark the occasion today.
In the span of the last two weeks, universities across the nation have essentially erased the farmworker civil rights leader and labor organizer from existence.
His name has been removed from buildings; his statues hauled away into storage. Celebrations in his honor have been renamed to generic “farmworkers rights” events.
The cancelations were spurred by a lengthy March 18 article in theNew York Times headlined: “Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years.”
The report accused the United Farm Workers co-founder of grooming and sexually abusing girls as young as 12 and 13 in the 1970s, as well as sexually assaulting his union co-founder, Dolores Huerta.
“The New York Times has uncovered extensive evidence to support their accusations and those raised by several other women against Mr. Chavez, the United Farm Workers co-founder who died in 1993 at the age of 66,” the Times reported.
“The abuse allegations appear to be part of a larger pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Chavez, much of which has never been publicly revealed,” the newspaper reported.
“The Times investigation found that Mr. Chavez also used many of the women who worked and volunteered in his movement for his own sexual gratification. His most prominent female ally in the movement, Dolores Huerta, said in an interview that he sexually assaulted her, a disclosure she has never before made publicly,” it reported.
Within mere days, universities across the United States removed and renamed tributes to Chavez in response.
Chavez had symbolized farmworker rights through boycotts, marches, and advocacy for better agricultural labor conditions, but universities’ leaders said they are now prioritizing survivor support and institutional values over preserving his name on campus.
Michigan State University renamed its “César Chávez and Delores Huerta Commemorative Celebration” to the “Farmworker Appreciation Commemorative Celebration.”

I wonder if there will ever be a similar deep research into MLK’s social history? Unlikely.. There may be a time when an accurate Obama bio. will be done. I would like to know about his time at Columbia, now a total black hole.
One could hope.
One down, one to go.
Where have we seen this before? Oh, yeah…

Now do MLK?
only given mention b/c it was the ny times
imagine if foxnews had broken this story
the left would have had the latino community …well they did call out the gangstas as we might recall
I did a brief email exchange with a reporter for Los Angeles newspaper. I have made a remark about Will Caesar Chavez Boulevard become Brooklyn Avenue again? The authorize rep replied to me that the community in that area would like to see the name Brooklyn Avenue return. They recognize the history of Brooklyn Avenue and what it represents. I was rather surprised but also happy to see this
“Have you ever seen someone disappear faster than this?”
Yes.

Old Neil went “poof” in about an afternoon. Local press had been suppressing it for decades as “unsupported rumors.” I believe the impetus for outing him came after the premature death from alcoholism of the young girl he had abused. It was domino city then. His police driver at the time noodled his way into Sheriff for his silence, and the second Goldschmidt was outed, Bernie went poof too. What I love is the effort put into them covering their tracks.

A classic case of continuous blackmail over decades.
