I believe that the holiday should be named presidents' day. It has always been called presidents' day and I don't see why it should be changed now. Calling it Washington's birthday rules out Lincoln, who is a man worthy of notice. Finally, calling it Washington's b-day sound extremely informal.
which gives to bigotry no sanction is a quote from over much-loved president Washington. I say that he wouldn't mind sharing a holiday with another president. Especially one that ensured his mission remained true. But I guess we'll never know.
Pious, just, humane, temperate, and sincere; uniform, dignified is a quote describing washington. however, i'm sure that lincoln was also all of these things. My biggest problem is that we aren't recognizing licoln when we say georgie's birthday.
In conclusion, I think that it is fair that we give both presidents credit on prez's day. If we called it g.w.'s b-day then it would be disrespectful to lincoln. So i think that our current name is a happy medium. But my opinion dosen't really matter now, does it?
