[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the whole system should be closed for every religious holiday - even if only 1 student practices a particular religion?[/quote] There obviously has to be a balance. But Jew and Muslims (students and teachers) have reached enough of a critical mass in DCPS that it makes sense to be closed at least for some holidays - where there is also a balance. Many Jews celebrate two days of Rosh Hashanah, not to mention many other holidays where Jewish schools would be closed. But it seems reasonable to only close one day for RH and not the other (somewhat) more minor holidays as a balance since they are a minority.[/quote]
