In many parts of the United States, Columbus Day has evolved into a celebration of Italian-American heritage. Local groups host parades and street fairs featuring colorful costumes, music and Italian food. In cities and towns that use the day to honor indigenous peoples, activities include pow-wows, traditional dance and lessons about Native American culture.

Believe that we should celebrate day because while Columbus has done many horrible things like the trail of tears he also is the reason why the Europeans came to this country and the Spanish and Cuban also so many other peoples that inspire forged and changed our culture in addition Columbus gave us foundation and reason to innovate change.

I think we should celebrate Columbus Day because Columbus was a good man and we should celebrate. Columbus is important in american history because he colonize the Indian people. Although he failed to establish a stable colony, his actions affected the Europeans and defend the United States.

Some Americans celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of their country with church services and other activities. In some towns and cities, special church services, parades and large events are held. Many celebrations happen in the Italian-American community. The celebrations in New York and San Francisco are particularly noteworthy. In Hawaii Columbus Day is celebrated as Discoverers' Day, but it is not a state holiday.

we shouldn't celebrate Columbus day because he said that he had found America (North America).Why he didn't find North America is, because when he got to north america there was people already there. the people there were indians already there (North America). And then he had enslaved the Indians and made them mine for gold.

do you think we should celebrate Columbus day? i dont it might offend some people,even though Columbus was counted as a hero he did make some bad choices the people that he worked to death did not deserve what they got and if Columbus got worked to death he would understand how the people feel they did not deserve that.
first,he was sent to see if the land was safe and if they had gold and to build stuff on that land when he came back they had destroyed the buildings and so then he turned them into prisoners

Columbus day, should it be celebrated? I think not! Columbus killed and enslaved many Americans, didn't even discover America, and can be blamed for the trail of tears. Why would these be a reason to celebrate?   I say we ban it!
First reason why I say that is because the of the plain and obvious fact that Columbus murdered, I repeat M-U-R-D-E-R-E-D the native american tribes and enslaved them too! Why should we celebrate this brutality? If someone now were to do do the now we would consider this person a villain, why should it be any different for Columbus now that we know what he did? Even if it was in the past we should ban it now!
Second reason why we should ban it is because he didn't even discover America! In fact a viking was the first to, actually the native america tribes were the first! I could go on, and on, and on about who was here first, but that is not the point, the point is that he wasn't the first.
Third reason is because he can be blamed for the trail of tears! He is the reason that the native america tribes were either killed off or enslaved or chased away. This brutality was caused be the interest sparked by Columbus's travels. To be fair to my opposing side anyone would do that by traveling over here, so he shouldn't be of blame. That may be true but that still isn't a cause to celebrate him.
These are the reasons why we should ban Columbus day. He killed and enslaved many Americans, didn't even discover America, and can be blamed for the trail of tears. Why would these be a reason to celebrate?

I think we should celebrate Columbus Day.

My reasons for that being
Columbus Day is a day to honor Christopher Columbus, whom helped us discover America.
So we should honor him because without him, we wouldn't be in America and Spanish people wouldn't be speaking spanish.

Another reason is to decrease days of school.
Without Columbus Day, School would be a day longer and there is already enough days of school.
Students need a break to relax their mind from all the school stress so thank you Columbus Day!

Now, people may not want to celebrate Columbus Day. Native Americans may not want to celebrate it due to Columbus sending  thousands of Taino "Indians" to Spain to be sold. Sadly, many passed away. Taino people whom were left behind were forced to search for gold in mines and on plantations.
It's understandable why Native Americans don't want to celebrate it.
States that are populated mostly with Native Americans ban the day.

But in all, it's just my opinion on the day. Your opinion may be different and that's okay! This was my reason to keep Columbus day, and I hope it stays. :D

I don't think we should celebrate Columbus day because he might have helped discover Spanish heritage , but he did chase the native Americans out of there homes and they had go to Oklahoma and now instead of celebrating Columbus day they celebrate the Native Americans. At the same time he did help discover the Spanish heritage and most people of that race do think he did nothing wrong because discover there heritage but if you really thought about it if it was flipped the people that said he was amazing and did nothing wrong. in conclusion i believe that we shouldn't celebrate Columbus day.
