Columbus was trying to get to China/India to establish a better trade route. The old eastern Europe/Middle East Route and a lot of the Mediterranean was cut off by the Muslim Ottoman Empire.
His purpose was to raise capital for the Spanish Catholics King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel so that they could fund a large Crusade and recapture Jerusalem. They had just finished The Reconquista of Spain and wanted to continue the fight. They obviously got sidetracked with a more lucrative venture in the Americas.
So they were actually acting for Christendom against Islam.

That's my thinking though, how else do we take back control of public institutions unless we get in there directly. It's like saying nobody should run for office because it's such a corrupt system. And there's always private schools anyway.
