Probably more to honor of Cabrini Green. Dems want us all in the Projects.

Why would anyone not support this change?Because she legally immigrated to the United States; she was a deeply religious Christian; as a Catholic nun, she was or would have been anti-abortion; she's Caucasian; and she probably wasn't a lesbian or a man who likes to dress like a woman. Quite frankly, I am shocked that the libtards in Colorado went for this.

If I lived in Colorado, I would be starting a new tradition: The celebration of Columbus Day with outdoor decorations and Columbus Day cards and gifts.

Im guessing that Next Denver will remove her shrine and build a homeless shelter on the desirable location.

We have so many days and “months” that they pretty much mean nothing. America is watered down and we will never make everyone happy.

Columbus day was different than, say, St Patrick's day. Columbus day had been an actual national holiday. Closed businesses, government, etc. Over the past 30 years a lot of that has eroded as places chose to stay open (I think that started with MLK day, nobody really wanted a holiday in the middle of January so they just ignored it, and then that extended to other less holidays).
I really don't mind if there is a day set aside to celebrate Mother Cabrini. Go for it. But eventually someone will come for her and say 'she was Catholic and gays hate Catholics for some reason so her holiday is offensive'. Eventually we'll only have a day celebrating this guy:

"People in CO do the dumbest things." That is because we are infested with calitards. That and, like many states (VA, NY) the yard cities with 10% of the land have the most yard voters. KCCP (Kолорадо Советская Социалистическая Республика) aka Commierado.

“Mother Cabrinis impact on world history is at least as great as Columbuss. Why would anyone not support this change?”
I have never heard of the woman. There are 365 days in a year, why not pick one not used in this fashion?
Oh, because they want to erase our history. Sure.

An incremental step to be later replaced.

Let me tell you a true fact: I, and many others just like me, have never heard of Ms. Cabrini before this day. So, how could she be so earth shaken important?

Might your cogent observation regarding your knowledge of Mother Cabrini be an indication of her actual influence on world history?
Surely, the ridiculousness of my argument was an indication of its implausibility.

They could always celebrate her during Kwanzaa.

Or they could leave the celebration of her to the Roman Catholic Church.
If I lived in Colorado, I might well challenge creation of Cabrini Day on Church Establishment grounds.
