[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 40s and moved from DCPS to MCPS during elementary school (junior high for my older sibling) and recall being surprised that MCPS was open for Columbus Day and Veterans Day but very pleasantly surprised to find out that MCPS was closed for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. [/quote] Columbus Day and Veterans Day ceased being school holidays the year that the Jews insisted that their holidays become school holidays. Its a fact.[/quote] Just thought you might want to consider that saying "Jews" can be considered derogatory. Unless you mean to be a bigot, say Jewish people.[/quote] While I agree that the tone of PP's post was derogatory and insulting, I have to say I've never heard that simply using the term "Jews" is insulting. And yes, I am a Jew. Also a Jewish person. [/quote]
