Once a Spring Festival brought to the United States by european immigrants, it is now yet another Socialist Holiday, with the “Celebrations” having nothing to do with the original reason for the celebrations.
In Chicago, the CTU (Chicago Teachers Union) has so much pull that they got the city to bus students from class to the socialist celebrations, and forced the Chicago Public Schools to give every teacher that wants one, a day off so they can attend.
Socialists always bastardize whatever existing holidays that exist for their own use.
