Because it's not politically correct to fail to genuflect before Saint Martin. Incidentally, I object to calling George Washington's birthday Presidents Day. The idea that we establish a holiday for the likes of Bill Clinton is enough to make me throw up!
MLK is a hero to Liberals and Neo-Cons because his actions brought about the growth of federal power and intervention. Don't misunderstand me, I do not believe in discriminating against another person because of their skin color, but I remember what MLK said about the U.S. military during the Viet Nam War. He compared us to the Nazis! My understanding is that his FBI file has been sealed for 75 years. Now, why do you think that is?

That is up to your school board. Why don't you go to a meeting and tell them in a short, well thought out speech why you should get President's day off.
Where I live, we get both off.
I completely agree both should be recognized with a day off.

The presidents used to be important to our citizens,
but as the younger population takes over, different
popular people become more important to them than
presidents they can't remember and don't learn about
in their history classes anymore. The Black population
keeps increasing, so Black celebrities become more
to the forefront by them and other sympathizers.

Political Correctness
It's totally wrong and will cause the fall of our great nation in time.
But the Liberals won't believe that until it's too late.
