Randolph public schools ditch Columbus for Indigenous Peoples Day

Randolph public schools ditch Columbus for Indigenous Peoples Day
RANDOLPH — Another North Jersey school district has opted to swap Christopher Columbus Day for Indigenous Peoples Day on its calendar.
Randolph Township Public Schools will amend its district calendar, following the unanimous vote during a Board of Education virtual meeting on Thursday.
A member of the board's Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee made the immediate recommendation to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day, proposed about an hour and 40 minutes into the meeting, saying it was meant to “strengthen Randolph’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and show our community that we embrace the histories of all people.”

What does “indigenous” mean?
You may have noticed an uptick in usage of the word in recent years. Perhaps you’ve heard Native Americans using “indigenous” to describe themselves.
Now, there’s even a holiday that bears the term.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day is celebrated across the United States on the second Monday in October and is an official city and state holiday in various localities. The holiday celebrates and honors Native American people and commemorates their histories and distinct cultures (Do you know how many federally recognized Native American tribes are in the U.S.?).

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Why does somebody have to lose in order to somebody to win?
That’s the question after the city Department of Education’s ridiculous attempt to cancel Christopher Columbus in the public schools.
The DOE school calendar came out the other day and for the first time did not include the traditional Columbus Day holiday, on Oct. 11.
Instead, Columbus Day was transformed into “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.”
The decision was made behind closed doors by the DOE and was sprung on New Yorkers with no warning and with no opportunity for public comment, including from school parents.

NEW YORK CITY — The coronavirus pandemic will do away with an unexpected treat for New York City's public school students: snow days.
Classes won't be cancelled during the 2021-2022 school year because of severe weather, the Department of Education announced Tuesday.
"[The] DOE will shift all students to remote instruction in lieu of cancelling schools due to severe weather conditions," a DOE statement reads.

The traditional snow day's days were numbered as the city's schools implemented wide-scale remote learning in the pandemic. Mayor Bill de Blasio in December declared himself "sad" that the snow day young New Yorkers used to know could be gone.

Oregon House votes to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day

Oregon House votes to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Oregon House on Monday overwhelmingly passed HB 2526 A, which would make the second Monday of October Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the state.
The legislation looks to honor and recognize the native people of the state, including the Oregon Tribes, by memorializing the many histories, cultures, contributions, and lives. The bill also aims to address what supporters call the U.S.’s revisionist colonial history by officially replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
“At this moment in time, we are all working to understand how the messages we learn in history determine how we think about things and how we treat one another,” said Rep. Tawna Sanchez (D-N & NE Portland), one of the bill’s chief sponsors. “Now is the time to tell the truth about yet another old lie in our history books and recognize that the native people of this country and the state of Oregon are the original people.”
