http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/news/local/mayor-cites-cultural-sensitivity-in-changing-names-of-two-city/article_82c50bb7-961c-5855-a527-221098977e1e.htmlThe mayor decides Columbus Day is "Fall Holiday" and Good Friday is "Spring Holiday."
We are terrifically proud of our diverse workforce at the city,” Hamilton wrote. “That diversity makes us
stronger and more representative of the public we proudly serve. These updated names for two days of well-merited
time off is another way we can demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity.---Bloomington mayor John
Hamilton.
What's next, gang?
Groundhog Day to National Weather Day---Why the hell should the groundhogs get their own day? Are we
biased against other rodents?
Arbor Day to Flora Day---Who gave trees supremacy? What did the shrubs, the grass, the flowers, and the
herbs ever do to p@ss anyone off?
The Fourth of July to National Fireworks Day---Isn't this discrimination against British Americans? (If British Americans really do get P.O.ed at
the Fourth of July, no wonder they needed American help to win World War II . . .)
Veterans Day---What? The rookies don't deserve respect?
Presidents' Day---Wasn't the presidency supposed to be a co-equal branch? C'mon, the Constitution didn't get around
to the presidency until Article 2. Where's Congress Day? Or Supreme Court Day?
