From the Duluth News Tribune:
Duluth’s Leif Erikson statue vandalized

Seems like a pretty Minnesotan-level of vandalism…
Someone sprayed dark spray paint over part of the wording on Duluth’s Leif Erikson statue over the weekend. …

The vandal painted over the portion of the wording that listed Erikson as being the “Discoverer of America” in 1000 AD, a claim that’s still the subject of much historical debate.

Some people say that, no matter what European got here when, America didn’t need to be discovered: It was already home to Native Americans and had been for centuries.

This is a rather hearty-looking statue. It might not be that easy to topple when the time comes.
