The local ABC affiliate said Columbus Day has become a divisive issue given the role of Christopher Columbus in colonizing the New World.
One middle school in the district actually held a workshop titled, “Columbus: Hero or Villain?”
Local Republicans called the decision disappointing and shocking. Others called it an insult to those who served in the military.
“One word: DISGUSTING to describe Stamford Connecticut,” one angry resident said. “The very backwards, ignorant and obvious communist school board has CANCELLED both Columbus day and Veterans day. The reason? They needed more school days for teaching. WHAT????”

All those extra days will just go towards extra indoctrination, sadly.
That’s part of the reason I hate leftism.
Why don’t they cancel MLK Day, and Juneteenth, then?
Should have called the workshop, "Columbus: the guy who so changed the world that, aside from a few isolated tribes, and maybe not even them, no one around today would be alive if he didn't exist. Yeah somebody else would have eventually found the New World, but you still wouldn't be here."
Too wordy?
Me neither in the fifties and sixties.
Just about no teachers are veterans. In fact, they became teachers to avoid becoming veterans.
