The first recorded celebration of Columbus Day in the United States took place on October 12, 1792. Organized by the Society of St. Tammany, also known as the Columbian Order, it commemorated the 300th anniversary of Columbus’ landing.
1937… Due largely to lobbying by the Knights of Columbus (originally conceived as Italian American Heritage Day), Columbus Day became a national holiday.
1946… United Nations Charter is signed with no mention of indiginous people.
1971… It was moved to the 2nd Monday in October. Giving everyone a 3 day weekend.
1977… the UN first proposed an indiginous people day.
2020… some deeming Columbus not worthy of commemoration have renamed it indiginous people’s day.
2021… found the 2nd Monday declared Columbus Day & Indiginous People Day.
NOWHERE IN HISTORY HAS THE 2 MONDAY IN OCTOBER BEEN NAMED EDUCATION DAY. Unless, of course, you are the all-knowing, all-seeing, progressive Wokes of WCCU. Who by signage have declared it “Education Day” and a federal holiday.
Makes one wonder what else they have taken on to change.
Time to move money.
Pssst… Education Day is celebrated every year internationally on the 24th of January.
