It's amazing that the US has a day dedicated to his memory!

It's a federal holiday. All that means is the banks, post office, and other federal offices are closed. When it comes to the states/D.C., it's about a 22/29 yes/no split whether or not it's a state holiday. The push to remove it as a federal holiday has come primarily from your left wingers. My state has chosen not to recognize it as a state holiday. To my knowledge, it hasn't at least since I've been alive. What I find interesting is that 4 of the 22 states that recognize it as a state holiday have legislatures where Democrats hold a majority in both houses. 2 of the 22 have one of their two houses controlled by Democrats. 1 of the 22 has it's State Senate tied with it's House majority Democrat. Why haven't those states done something about it?

Especially since Lief Ericsen was there 500 years earlier.

Liberals and indigenous people are determined to remove a traditional holiday.

Push to abolish Columbus Day in favor of Indigenous Peoples Day picks up steam

The more that leftists dump on Columbus Day, only makes me more proud to be a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus.

People don't care as long as they get a paid day off. How many state employees in Virginia, black or otherwise, quit their job to protest having Lee-Jackson Day off with pay last week?
