Some states do not recognize this holiday, but Alabama is one that largely does. Our state offices are closed, as are many schools. Some systems have placed their fall breaks this week, as our local system has.
Wherever you are, Happy Columbus Day, work or play.
Happy Columbus Day!

I don't think so. If he had, maybe he could've won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Controversial day in Hawaii
It's a controversial day in Hawaii. Columbus never made it within 10,000 miles of these islands, thus discovered NOTHING here, and when the ships of Captain Cook "discovered" Hawaii it had been populated by Polynesians for centuries.
We observe "Discoverer's Day" today, and everyone likes having a State Holiday/day off/state offices closed, but the native Hawaiian activists really resent the claim that anybody "discovered" them by accidentally bumping into their home.

Well that's not all they are saying he possibly "discovered". Ouch.
