Phoenix School District Renames Cesar Chavez Day Holiday Following Sexual Assault Allegations

The Roosevelt Elementary School District in Phoenix has temporarily renamed its Cesar Chavez Day holiday to Roosevelt Roots Day, honoring the local communitys history and farmworker ties. This decision comes after a New York Times investigation revealed sexual assault allegations against Chavez. The board voted four to one, with one member opposing due to lack of community input. The name change only affects this years calendar, and an advisory committee will be formed to consider renaming Cesar Chavez Community School.
