"Monday, February 20, 2023, is President’s Day.
Originally it was a celebration of George Washington’s birthday.
Eventually, it was moved to the third Monday in February.
The move was forced by a bill passed by Congress in 1968 called the “Uniform Monday Holiday Act.” the bill’s purpose was to create three-day weekends.
...While officially a celebration of Washington’s birthday, after the bill took effect in 1971, it morphed into President’s Day, tearing down an American hero and replacing it with a meaningless woke day off work (for some).
It became a trivial holiday.
...Instead...substitute a day of civics.
...Instead...substitute a day of civics.
- A day of understanding the rights and obligations of every citizen and understanding how the Declaration Of Independence and the Constitution were part of creating those rights and obligations.
Part of that day could explain how a President’s job has changed since George Washington.
