Mabye Colombus was important. But why not celebrate other people who helped shaped today? Why not William the Bastard day, for introducing new influences to England? Or a bunch of people cross the Bering strait (though there were people earlier here than commonly believed). Or Arasces Day, celebrating the fact that by conquering Parthia, he allowed his predescors to restore Iranian culture to Iran. There are a whole bunch of pivotal events and people through out history, that does not mean they need a holiday.
That said, I'd be for it if I got off of school for it. But I don't, so I have the reason to condem it.![]()
