I have always thought it was odd that “the ole war skule” does not honor fallen veterans by closing campus on memorial day.

She works for the state and your bitching she doesn’t get off enough? I’m shocked.

It should, but maybe it’s because school is not even in session now.

They took away Memorial Day and gave them Juneteenth. It's LSU's woke way of saying black people are more important than veterans


Definitely not true. LSU not having Memorial Day as an employee holiday goes back way farther than Juneteenth being recognized by the state.

Memorial Day originated after the Civil War as a way to honor and remember those who died in military service. The tradition began in the late 1860s with communities across the United States—both North and South.
