Austin, Texas, followed suit Thursday. It joined cities including San Francisco, Seattle and Denver, which had previously booted Columbus in favor of Indigenous Peoples Day.

If you want to have a indigenous peoples day then lobby congress to get one. Don't punish others to get what you want. BTW, don't have it on the same day that someone else is honored.
