That's consistent with the modern western church. In about ten US states - including New Jersey - Thursday is the holyday and it hasn't been moved to Sunday.

The current 2019 SSPX calendar lists Holy Days of Obligation as:
All Sundays -  The Octave of the Nativity,  The Ascension, The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, The Feast of All Saints, The Immaculate Conception, and Christmas Day.

This Thursday, The Ascension, the mass schedule is the same as it's been on all previous Ascension Thursday's, the same as a Sunday with all 6 masses scheduled.  On the school calendar it is noted, "Thursday, May 30th: Ascension Thursday Holy Day of Obligation - NO Classes."

Yes, the SSPX priests consider Ascension Thursday a holy day of obligation and is to be celebrated on Thursday and they do expect everybody to attend mass on Thursday despite what the local district in Kansas says.

Did you hear that from an SSPX priests or are you making that assumption? Does he then admit Fr. Carlyle was wrong to have made the announcement? 

For clarification, when you say "local district in Kansas", do you mean to say "the U.S. SSPX District in Platte City, MO" or did you mean to say "the archdioceses of Kansas City"?

The Archdioceses, not the SSPX in Plate City.
