That’s a great idea! I should start celebrating my town’s founding day. Looks like April 28 is going to be a party next year!

I have an opposite story. One of my kids went to a school that had a large and diverse immigrant population. There were something like 40 different languages spoken by the various families. The trouble was, every week somebody had a holiday from their home country that they wanted to share and celebrate. Students were constantly bringing in sweet treats and gifts and other things for their classmates. It became a huge distraction for everyone, and the school actually had to ask parents to stop celebrating so many holidays.

When I was in college we once threw a Martin Luther King Jr. Day Eve party. Formal attire, sparkling wine, and we had a countdown to midnight when everyone shouted, “Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day!”

Now my family sometimes celebrates half birthdays, or quarter-birthdays. We also make up birthdays for stuffed animals. Any excuse for a party.

Anti-intellectual populism is a core tenent of the Republican platform. This is exactly what they want. Florida is getting what it voted for.
