NYC schools’ Columbus Day ban proves bureaucrats hate the nation we love

Steve Cuozzo to New York: Drop dead. 

Words I never thought I’d write. A lifelong Big Apple advocate who’s shared my optimism in these pages through our worst days — after 9/11 and throughout the pandemic — I now see little to no hope of rescuing our socio-political culture from its decline into nihilistic lunacy.  This week, New York City public schools abolished Columbus Day for Indigenous Peoples’ Day — a move that offends me less as an Italian American than as an American.
