The New York City public school system has officially dropped Columbus Day and replaced the annual federal holiday with Italian Heritage and Indigenous People's Day, which will be celebrated this October.
The city's Department of Education announced the changes Tuesday, amid ongoing concerns about the European explorer's treatment of indigenous people when in America.

Yeah, the Italians and Indians have a lot in common. Maybe eating fettuccine wearing a loincloth in October.

If they honestly believe this will appease Italians, they are sadly mistaken.
Columbus Day is basically the day this country honors the Italian heritage. Now they are not only "basterdizing" history, they are forcing the Italians to share their one day of the year with "indigenous people".
Give the indigenous people their own freakin' holiday and leave Columbus and the Italians alone!!!!!

I'm waiting for a group of Indians to pay Manhattan $24 worth of trinkets to get their land back. Under this mentality, they'd be obligated to return it.

What could be more of an American holiday? Columbus didn't know where he was going, didn't know where he was when he got there, did it with other people's money, and wasn't the first guy to do it.

Words matter.
indigenous: ( adjective) originating in a particular place.
For American Indians: that place has been proven to be Siberia.
Either everyone born here is indigenous or none of us are. No humans were here a few thousand years ago.

Columbus never got within 500 miles of NYC. In fact, he never even hit any part of North America. The closest was his first trip, he hit the Bahamas, likely Cat Island or Eleuthera.
But he was Italian.

NYC schools run by commie unions. Not surprising that they cancelled Columbus Day and subsituted it with a stupid day.
