Columbus Day was initiated to honor the contributions of Italian Americans, who are almost non-existent in South Dakota. This is much aso about nothing

Yeah, that's what the Wikipedia entry says, and I use them as much as anybody, but I grew up in a very Catholic (25%+) portion of Connecticut and while the public school in my hometown certainly mentioned his Italian heritage, the celebration was always in the context of the discovery of the Americas. Frankly, Spain's role got at least equal billing (NOT a lot of Hispanics in CT in those days save a few spare Puerto Ricans in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford). Except for the Columbus always being given an Italian accent in recitals, the Italian part was not particularly emphasized.

Here is one American with Italian ethnicity in South Dakota.
Seriously pick your battles!
Our country is led by commie-nazis and millions of American workers are being forced into a toxic shot or lose their jobs.
Nothing wrong with giving attention to the native Americans.
It’s not like any conservative is EVER going to win a Presidential election again. Elections need to be overhauled or we will have Rats in charge forever.
