California Bill Wants to Erase Cesar Chavez Day
Someone in California actually proposed replacing Cesar Chavez Day with a generic "Farmworker Day" and wrote an op-ed in the New York Post to explain themselves.
Stripping the name of a civil rights icon to replace it with a vague brand-neutral holiday is exactly the kind of erasure that gets dressed up as inclusion. The NY Post running it tells you everything about whose agenda this serves.
A bill to strip Cesar Chavez's name from a state holiday is being sold as honoring farmworkers, but it's a NY Post op-ed and the intent is obvious.
