It's a National Holiday, not a State Holiday. 

Yet apparently a state can rename a national holiday...

Btw why stop at Columbus day, thanksgiving is arguably even worse.

No, a State can rename the holiday for the State.  Note that the rest of the country still consider's it Columbus Day.

And yeah, maybe if we rename everything, we'll all forget about history and repeat it!  Great idea!  You should move to Texas. (Context: A textbook in a Texas school district attempted to assign the term 'Migrant Workers' to define Slave Labor)
