I feel you friend, I grew up with the public education in a red area and I didn’t know it was a thing until it was a made a federal holiday (at which point I did research to learn more about it)
I’d say the most common thing I’ve learned since my schoolyard days (20 years ago) is that my school failed me and many other kids. (I’ll never forget when our history teacher was portraying ‘Manifest Destiny’ as a GOOD thing, I got sent to the office because I pushed back on that)
Yeah it’s wild it seemed like it came out of nowhere one year, but it was a very big holiday in other parts. Frankly a day off in June is always nice. :)
