Even apparatchiks like John Cornyn — who pushed Juneteenth as a federal holiday — know they can’t keep piling up holidays indefinitely, because if they don’t come to work at all, they can’t steal our money and micromanage our lives. When they decree a new holiday in honor of our official state religion (i.e., moonbattery), it is meant to replace an old holiday honoring the culture they are systematically eradicating. For example:

The largest hospital system in Georgia, Emory Healthcare, has scrapped Christmas Eve from its paid holiday calendar and added Juneteenth. Employees will now have to use paid time off to celebrate the December holiday.

The change, announced August 31, will also let employees earn extra holiday pay for working on Juneteenth—but not on Christmas Eve.

Lest anyone miss that this represents a triumph for leftism,

“We hope this will allow more opportunities for celebration, reflection, and education,” Emory Healthcare CEO Joon Sup Lee wrote in an email to employees. “[D]iversity, equity, and inclusion at Emory Healthcare (EHC) is about creating an environment of true belonging for our patients and team members, while ensuring equitable outcomes for all.”

Such replacements are starting in the private sector due to the more urgent need to get some work done. Then they will spread to the government.

If all goes according to the agenda, Christmas Eve will be forgotten. Holidays used to be holy days. In utopia, they will be unholy days set aside for leftist purposes, as with Juneteenth (or as Jason Whitlock aptly calls it, George Floyd Day), which rewards Black Lives Matter rioters and provides a certain community with a pretext to indulge in even more mayhem than usual.

The policy will leave the hospital short staffed just when its services are most in demand:

Since 2021, Juneteenth weekends have been marred by mass shootings and other forms of gun violence, including at holiday celebrations across the country. In Chicago alone, gunfire over the three-day weekend killed 13 people this year.

Thanks John Cornyn!
