Why not teach it to your children at school that he wasn't and such actions should never be allowed to happen? I suppose modern america still can't accept it being a dark part of history. So we will be teaching our kids about how great he was.

The romantic lie about Columbus is balanced by the romantic lies about the Indians.

Such action should not be allowed to happen within a civil society in civil times. Those were not civil times, the societies were not civil. MIT was not within one society. So "should" is inapplicable.
