[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Italian Americans and Catholics have a right to be upset. I’d have no problem swapping out another more acceptable Italian hero, of which there are many.  Or,  just call it Italian American Day.  But to just swap out and call it Indigenous Day is incredibly intellectually lazy.  It’s similar to forcing everyone to celebrate Juneteenth which only freed some slaves (in the Confederacy) instead of December 6 which was when the 13th amendment was enacted abolishing all forced labor. I hate intellectually lazy. [/quote]

Who is forced to celebrate Juneteenth? [/quote]

I’m guessing every school and corporation that doesn’t want to get burned to the ground?[/quote]

Ah so public backlash against a corporation is not okay? Thought y'all liked free markets? [/quote]

In a society where half a dozen states are currently pushing for laws on the books codifying that teachers cannot teach “critical race theory“ or in some cases even say the word gay, it is pretty laughable that you have somehow put it into your mind that the liberals are the ones trying to control schools and limit what people are allowed to say. As for corporations, they have to know their clients. If they are selling it to the MAGA crowd, then I’m confident they will not acknowledge Juneteenth. If ultimately a corporation goes out of business due to protests over their refusal to acknowledge this holiday, then clearly they have dramatically misread their client base, and therefore they should never have existed because the free market has declared them incompetent.[/quote]

You don’t know much about the current state of k-12 education nor the Florida law.  If you spent time researching either, you would have more substantive comments.[/quote]
