[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with setting spring break at a specific point in April and not attaching it to Easter.

Disagree with your reasoning re: holidays. [b]I don't know of any Christian denominations that specifically don't work on Good Friday[/b]: it can be a school day. And I understand observant Jews often don't work or attend school the first two days of Passover, so you'd potentially need those to be holidays. [/quote] 
I thought Good Friday is to Christians as Yom Kippur is to Jews. Apparently not. If many people would be absent on Good Friday schools should be closed, if not they can be open.[/quote]
Nobody except the very devout celebrate Easter. Most Christians are not devout or even remotely religious, as you can see by the election results.[/quote]

This is nonsense.  Easter is second only to Christmas.   And it’s 2-3 weeks off school in many countries. There are many more Christian holidays that have already been removed from the US calendars.  These are the only two left! [/quote]

It should be first, above Christmas. Actually the most important date in the liturgical calendar. But it's a little hard to make death/resurrection (Easter) commercial and cute, unlike a baby, even one born in miserable circumstances (Christmas).[/quote]
