Students in a Richmond suburb will make up a snow day on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, prompting protests from the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union.

When I went to grade school in Virginia, Dr. King didn't have his own day. In fact, we celebrated Lee-Jackson-King Day, in honor of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. Stonewall Jackson, and Dr. Martin Luther King. No one seemed to mind that two confederate generals and a civil rights leader shared the same holiday. Also, it was always the first holiday cancelled to make up for a snow day.

If you ask me, the decision to move Dr. King to a separate day seems more divisive than it does inclusive. (But what do you expect from the fed?) Just look at how the NAACP is reacting. When that day was Lee-Jackson-King day, and it was cancelled there were no such protests. Now that King has it all to himself, it's considered 'Racism' to cancel that holiday.
