Keep in mind that you are in Seattle, where many people will today celebrate "Indigenous Peoples Day." Outside of liberal enclaves like Seattle, I guarantee you that there will be lots of schoolchildren singing about how "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492." One can't help but enjoy the delicious irony of there being a federal holiday for a person who never stepped foot in this country, who sailed under a flag that wasn't his own nationality, who by all historical accounts was a raping / murdering / pillaging rogue. And then getting schoolchildren to sing about him. Says something about our country, its values, and its education system.
