You and I brother! I would have also remineded them that it’s correctly called Washingtn’s Birthday, not the PC MLK Day.
Isnt Lincoln’s birday Feb 12 and Washington’s Feb 22? Those are the celebrations we recognize.
No, today IS MLK Day. The holiday now known unofficially as “Presidents Day” and officially GW’s Birthday, is celebrated on the third Monday of February. GW’s actual birthday was 2/22.
When I was a kid in school we got off for both Lincoln’s Birthday (2/12) and Washington’s Birthday (2/22). I believe Lincoln’s Birthday was forfeited as a federal holiday when they instituted MLK Day. Now, the only federal holidays NOT celebrated on a given Monday are Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
