Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States. I think the mexican heritage should celebrate considering America had nothing to do with it. It shouldn't become a national holiday because we weren't apart of it.
As far as no homework day goes, I don't know who came up with it, but teachers arent gonna take that as an excuse so you're going to have to end up doing your homework anyway. I didn't celebrate in it because I didn't want to lose points for some stupid made up holiday.
