Fairfax County, Virginia, decided students should no longer get Veterans Day as a holiday.
However, Indigenous Peoples’ Day is one “holiday” they’ll gladly keep.
FFX Now reported on Monday that the county school board has arrived at their calendar for the next academic year, which reduced the number of early release days and omitted Veterans Day as a holiday.
Both Veterans Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day were up for omission as holidays, but only the former passed.
Ostensibly, the decision came in response to parents’ concerns about disruptions to the school year.
Fairfax County’s board has not been a shining example for an educational body when looking at its history.
A Virginia mother, Stacey Langton, spoke out three years ago when Fairfax County included lewd LGBT-themed books in its libraries, exposing children to sexual content.
