Holidays may not all be holy days, but they certainly do occupy an important place in the cultural pantheon. Even the act of introducing the Holiday is significant -- Reagan was in office the last time this happened, I wasn't even alive back then! Even more importantly, however... children will now grow up having the day off and learning about it in class. That's where the real, permanent progress happens!
