"The blacks can have MLK Day, but I want George Washington Day, Theodore Roosevelt Day, Neil Armstrong Day (first man to step onto the lunar surface), Abraham Lincoln Day (the blacks should clamor for this one), George Patton Day, Robert E. Lee Day, Ulysses S. Grant Day, Albert Einstein Day, Ronald Reagan Day, Orville and Wilbur Wright Day, Alexander Graham Bell Day, Thomas Jefferson Day, and the list goes on and on and on and on and on."

Come on. Fess up. You just want the days off. #;^)

That's my only problem with these holidays.
They are all about govt. workers (that includes teachers) having a paid day off, and a 3 day weekend. Nothing more. I say, commerate the holiday on your own time, and GO TO WORK!
