Is it now politically incorrect to now recognize CMD? I know most don't get the day off but most State and Federal employees do; however it seems that Georgia now just lists CMD as a state employee holiday now instead of Confederate Memorial Day? When did southern heritage and pride become so taboo that a documented holiday can't be observed by name?

I like having the day off, but I've always thought it was weird having a holiday for Confederate Memorial Day, Jefferson Davis's Birthday, and R. E. Lee's Birthday.

Federal employees
The strange thing about Georgia is how they moved one of the Confederate holidays around. I forget if it is Lee's birthday or Davis's birthday, but one is now marked on the Friday after Thanksgiving, giving state employees that day off.

I'm a federal employee and we don't get that day off. Don't get Good Friday off either (which is not a holiday but a lot of companies give that day off)

Honoring the Confederacy is unpatriotic
