    Even though it was the 1400's, that behavior shouldn't be acceptable. Plus, he didn't just lead to the death of Natives, but also Whites. I understand the whole idea of "Why change it? It's just more work." I understand being sick of protests. But if we want those to end, maybe we should consider what they're saying. Also, Columbus Day was orginally to celebrate Italian-American heritage but quickly became more about glorifying someone who didn't remotely deserve it. Why have an American holiday for someone who didn't set foot on American soil instead of a holiday to respect those who are still fighting to keep their land today? I will not try to change your mind, but please take these things into consideration, and take care!

    But, and hear me out here, Columbus never stepped into American AND wrongly named them Indians because (he was lost) he thought he was in India.

    My state, South Dakota, happened to lead in the efforts by renaming Columbus Day to Native American Day, making them the first state to do so (that includes Indigenous Peoples' Day).

    It was supposed the be about Italian-American heritage with Columbus as a symbol, but turned into calling Columbus a hero. First, he never stepped foot on American soil. Second, he was never American. So why have this holiday? I don't know.
