Never occurred to me to celebrate Robert E. Lee Day. But, Arkansas has been celebrating Robert E. Lee with an official holiday for over half a century including during Bill Clinton's tenure as governor. Seems the Clintons' idea of change didn't include bringing Arkansas into post-Civil War America. Probably would have cost too many votes. One of the great ironies of a democracy, people who seek the power and prestige of high public office often prostitute themselves to attain it while sacrificing the values they claim to hold dear.
