But if you're going to get rid of the two holidays and only have one and celebrate it on MLK day, why not just call it MLK day instead of insisting on still celebrating Lee? Hell, it's almost worse the more I think about it. If they had some random holiday that celebrated Lee and kept it around mostly just to get a day off you might have a point.
