The Spin

Right narrative

Columbus Day represents a crucial celebration of Italian American heritage and commemorates a pivotal moment in world history that bridged the Old and New Worlds, making it an essential part of American tradition that should be preserved and honored without qualification.

YouGovNew York Post

Left narrative

The traditional celebration of Columbus Day overlooks the devastating impact of colonization on Indigenous peoples, including genocide, slavery, and cultural destruction, making it inappropriate to maintain as a federal holiday without acknowledging these historical truths.
