The California Assembly discussed Thursday a bill that would replace Abraham Lincoln or George Washingtons birthday with International Socialist Workers Day as a paid holiday.
California Democrat Assemblyman Miguel Santiago introduced Bill AB-3042, which would allow schools to replace Washington Day and Lincoln Day with Presidents Day and install an “International Workers Day” — conventionally known as “May Day” — as a second holiday.
“Im aghast that a bill like this would be able to get through committee,” California Republican Assemblyman Matthew Harper said to the Assembly. “Are we in competition to be the laughing stock of the United States?”
“Are we going that far to the left?” Harper asked. “This is ridiculous; this is insane; this is un-American. And for folks who think that the U.S. won the Cold War with the Soviet Union, this makes it sound like were going in the other direction — that indeed California is kowtowing to the Soviet domination of the Cold War.”
WATCH:
Today, I argued against a bill that proposed to drop Lincoln's Birthday or Washington's Birthday as a school holiday and instead adopt International Socialist Workers' Day, aka May Day, in its place.

“And indeed, in that kitchen debate Khruschev had with Nixon, oh my God, was Khruschev right, Mr. Author?”
The Assembly read the bill three times and refused to pass it by a 27-22 vote on Thursday. But Santiago submitted a motion to reconsider it on the same day. Bill AB-3042 previously passed both the Assemblys appropriations and education committees.
