Gee - when I was a kid growing up Columbus day was on Oct12th - guess I missed the part where they changed it to the second Monday of October.
Of course its the biggest farce ever publicized since Columbus did not ever set foot on US soil and really only came over and killed, maul and enslave the Arawak Indians of Haiti. The only reason anyone thinks he was such a big deal is the embellished stories that Washington Irving published as a "supposed" biography of Columbus but was just a fictional re-creation of his supposed journeys. In reality Columbus also never had any run ins about a "flat earth" as so many kids are falsely taught - but then I guess thats ok to teach myths in school.
Im sure that most teachers dont realize that the Columbus they teach kids to idealize was just as bad as Hitler when it came to trying to wipe out a race of people.
