    So, I’m from Alabama and my dad worked for the state. While the holiday is terrible, it has a dope as hell placement.

    They always put it on the first Monday in June, so it’s always the week after Memorial Day.

    As such, state offices basically shut down for a week, since everybody takes the Tuesday to Friday after Memorial Day off, since 4 days of leave gets you a 10 day stretch of no work.

    Not saying it’s good, but it’d be hella unpopular to repeal, and not cause people care about Jefferson Davis, lol.

        Rename it to “ISIS Appreciation Day” and see if Alabama politicians still say, “Gee, a day off is a day off!”

        If it’s still there it means they’re okay with it.
