Every year on Pulaski day i call my CPS friends and give them a hard time about having the day off. Then I remind them that the only reason they have the day off is because there was a huge racist backlash against having MLK day, and Pulaski day was proposed to "even things out." Even so, I loved having Pulaski day when I was a kid, but clearly before I understood it. -ie
