I think they missed an opportunity. They should have designated it as an American Heroes’ Day and had students select heroes to study and present to the class. Robert Paolicchi, Aurora
I think it is about time. The whole Columbus Day was a fraud in the beginning. You can’t discover a country when someone is already living there. Randy R., Aurora
I think it’s long over due! Ronald Ryder, Aurora
I can see why they want to change the holiday to Indigenous Peoples Day because Columbus didn’t really discover America and he mistreated indigenous people. Maurice W., Brookfield
I think it is fantastic because Columbus did not discover this country. Native Americans were already here. Chris S., Aurora
