Every place I've ever seen MLK day offered as a holiday, they usually take back some other holiday somewhere else on the calendar. For instance, people who used to get Columbus Day off as a paid holiday now work on Columbus Day and get MLK Day instead.

At one time, both Abraham Lincoln's Birthday and George Washington's Birthday were separate holidays, celebrated on the actual days of their births. Now, we just have "President's Day".

My kid's school calendar is riddled with so many "breaks" and "special days" and "holidays" that he starts school a full month before Labor Day. Yet, the school year has just as many days in it now as it did when I went to school, and I suspect the labor-union approved calendar has just as many non-holiday days per year as it did in years past.

The denigration continues. Next it will morph into "Famous Persons Day" and then "Some Dead White Guys Day".
