SAN ANGELO, TX -- Banks and government offices are closed today in observance of Columbus Day in San Angelo, but the holiday is controversial in Austin, TX and other places as well.
In Austin, the city council last year passed a resolution recognizing the second Monday in October as Indigenous People's Day.
KTXS is reporting that the Austin resolution also said the city of Austin has a "responsibility to oppose the systematic racism towards Indigenous People in the United States, which perpetuates high rates of poverty and income inequality, exacerbating disproportionate health, education, and social crises."
Historically, Columbus landed on what is now the island of Hispanolia which includes the counties of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
In San Angelo, city, county, state and federal offices are closed today as are San Angelo ISD schools.

Stupid PC correct demwits and their worthless causes.
Statues coming down, sports teams forced to change names they have had for 50 or 100 years, library's being stripped of books they find distasteful, anything Christmas protested against.
Stupid bollywood women said Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs has to go.
Austin has become a cesspool of these ignorant killary lovers.
And the list goes on and on.
OMG how much more of this BS are sane people going to put up with?
Seems like 95% of our teachers and professors are dims that are indoctrinating children to their way of life.
How about these mobs of foaming at the mouth fools attacking any Republican person they don't agree with.
Racists are behind every door.
All of it total BS.

PermalinkPolitical correctness is a flawed and dangerous ideology which is entirely dependent on an ignorant and weak collective. A stronger, more astute society would've assuredly done away with this cultural bowel movement, from the first insistence that "stewardess" was an affront to female flight attendants.
Enter 2018, the self-styled posterchildren for "tolerance" and "unity" have created a radical/criminal hybrid, where it's not so much about calling the quad-amputee "special", but politicians who use incendiary rhetoric to incite unprovoked physical confrontation, and a generation of young neurotics and social justice meat puppets.
We're told that universal truths, such as gender, can be dismissed or inverted on a whim, and everything criminal and lowly is exalted, while the true movers and shakers of the world are placed under an unconditional, meritless veil of suspicion.
Ironic how this bunch has become synonymous with the term "progressive".
A doctrine's value is proportional to the validity of it's foundation, and a privileged lie is still a lie.
Fight it, deny it. It only gets worse.
