We used to have two Presidential holidays in February.
Lincoln and Washington.
Originally on their actual birthdays, the 11th and the 22nd.
(Eventually changed to the Monday of the week of the birthdays so they could be 3 day weekends every year)
Then they gave Martin Luther King (womanizer and plagiarizer but had a good agenda “content of character” etc) a whole day with his name on it and Cesar Chavez (Union thug) his own day with his name on it and squished Lincoln and Washington into one day without any mention of their names and added all the other presidents.
I’m sure schools teach more about King and Chavez then they do Lincoln and Washington [Known as THE Father of our Country]
Oops Lincoln Feb 12th...
