Sadly it's right. Virtue Signaling List

Even JBE brought LA into the fold this year. Have a separate day for them to celebrate, but taking another in the name of virtue signaling is just stupid.

October 14 proclaimed to be Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Louisiana

In 2019, Indigenous Peoples’ Day will be recognized October 14.

WAFB reported on Sept. 16 that Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said the state will officially recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day for the first time on Oct. 14, 2019. “I am proud to proclaim Indigenous Peoples’ Day to recognize the contributions of Native Americans in Louisiana.” Edwards said to the outlet. “My administration has prioritized working with the tribes through our Office of Indian Affairs to award scholarships and establish the Native American Commission to ensure issues important to Native Americans in Louisiana get the attention they deserve.”

Edwards' announcement came after a 27-year-old Louisiana woman named Baley Champagne reached out to the governor's office requesting that he sign a proclamation to formally recognize the day, WAFB reported. Champagne told the outlet that she received notice that the governor would do so on Sept. 11, 2019.
