March 15 - National Everything You Think Is Wrong Day

Happy National Everything You Think Is Wrong Day! On March 15th, today recognizes, well, everything you think is wrong day. 

Today is a day where decision making should be avoided, as your thoughts are (according to the founder of this holiday) wrong. It is also a day created for some people to realize that they are not always right. 

  

While starting a conversation, one might want to avoid using the words “I think.” The observance may be a time for all to contemplate our own lack of knowledge.  

  

It is okay that one does not know everything, and if there is a need to feel as if you do, hold on. Tomorrow will be here soon, and then once again, you can think that you do! 

  

HOW TO OBSERVE 

  

While you might think it would be okay to point out how wrong others’ thoughts are, you’d still be wrong. You’d still be wrong for thinking that.  However, it would be a good day to scroll on by all those Twitter comments that annoy you.  

  

Of course, if you’re wrong on this holiday, take solace in the thought that so is the person to the right and left of you. Then again, you’d still be wrong, according to the name of the day. 

Share your thoughts and let us know just how wrong you think you are using #EverythingYouThinkIsWrongDay to post on social media. 

  

HISTORY 

  

National Day Calendar® might be wrong, but they’ve not been able to identify the origin of this day. You might be right, but that’s another day. It’s not this day. So, you’d be wrong.

March 15 - National Kansas Day

Happy National Kansas Day! Today we observe the 34th state to join the union back on January 29, 1861. 

This U.S. state in the Midwestern United States. Its capital is Topeka and its largest city is Wichita, with its most populated county and largest employment center being Johnson County. Kansas is bordered by Nebraska on the north; Missouri on the east; Oklahoma on the south; and Colorado on the west. 

Magnificent herds of bison, elk, mule deer and antelope roamed the vast open plains populated by Cherokee, Osage, Pawnee and many other tribes. The region became a part of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. 

Generations of travelers came to Kansas as the country expanded. From the Corps of Discover in 1804 to the Pony Express, all the roads in Kansas seemed to point westward. 

Railroads brought rapid settlement to the territory and with it the divisive decision for citizens regarding statehood. Would Kansas be free or slave? The debates turned so vicious, the territory earned the name “Bleeding Kansas” before entering the union as a state. 

With the railroads, ranching, livestock, and agriculture grew. Also nicknamed The Wheat State, the verdant, fertile soil of the Kansas farmland made the state the Breadbasket of the World. 

American author L. Frank Baum even depicted farm life for one young girl named Dorothy in his books about a place called Oz.  

His 1900 children's literature fantasy fiction novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz took the world by storm, especially when Hollywood put Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Margaret Hamilton and Billie Burke in the cast. There was indeed no place like home, no place like Kansas. 

One of the most critical decisions in Civil Rights history took place in Topeka, Kansas. The appeal of Brown vs. the Board of Education was brought before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1954.  

What had started with groups of parents and teachers in all-black schools in communities across the country had finally culminated in a final decision. Separate but equal violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.  

HOW TO OBSERVE
