    The word is “backlash”. It was a stupid fucking decision and people reacted accordingly. If you wanted to cancel these positive celebratory observances for no reason, at least have the balls to be straight about it.

    Jesus these people are inept. How hard is to just make up a yearly schedule and vote on it? It happens in many jobs. All this mealy mouth BS trying to sneak agendas through, while typical, is just so gross.
