It is my understanding that Columbus Day is a celebration of the discovery and colonization of the United States. Colorado was one of the first states to set aside a holiday commemorating this.
Rep. Daneya Esgar in response to my communication to her regarding the Colorado House voting to replace Columbus Day with Mother Cabrini Day said that this bill was a compromise.
Sen. Larry Crowder opposed this bill at least partly because it discriminates against the Italian American community. I agree with Sen Crowder. Deborah Espinosa writes that Native Americans are offended by this celebration because of all the wrongs done to the Indian Nations.
Theres an old saying that two wrongs dont make a right. You cant blame Columbus for all the problems created by his discovery any more than you can blame President Donald Trump for all of the problems we face today with the coronavirus pandemic.
As my brother points out, this is similar to the problem of the Confederate Statues in the South. This is an example of political correctness gone awry.
