With posts on Facebook and Twitter, Lower Merion School District officially recognized Indigenous Peoples’ Day today; however, schools remained open. A search for the word “Columbus” on the district’s website brings up nothing.
The township has not yet come around to recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day, but neither does it recognize Columbus day. However, a search of the township’s website does reveal some vestigial references to the former holiday, at least to the extent of advising people that everything is open and trash is on a normal pickup scedhule.
The statue of Columbus in front of the Ludington Library in Bryn Mawr has not yet faced the ignominy of being covered by a wooden box, as was the case in South Philadelphia.
