5 A day celebrating Hispanic culture.
Why it should be a public holiday: One-seventh of the country is Hispanic (and that number’s going up)… unlike most of the pipe dreams on this list, this one actually seems like it could happen, so I say we jump on the bandwagon and try to ride the winning caballo.
Why it should not be a public holiday: The fact that I had to write “a day celebrating Hispanic culture” shows there’s no obvious choice… Cesar Chavez Day seems like the go-to, but since that hasn’t happened yet, clearly it’s missing the X-factor needed to get the push… Cinco de Mayo obviously isn’t right, they barely even celebrate that in Mexico… Rand Paul has been saving at least two Tolstoy novels to read out loud in his efforts to make sure this holiday never happens.
