[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When APS added the religious holidays, they should have removed other days off. But of course they don't want to make hard decisions or say no, so they just keep adding more days off. [b]At the very least, they should get rid of veteran's day.[/b] The district I used to live in had school on veteran's day. [/quote]

Can you be even more un-American?  It's the veteran's in America that allow us to have the freedoms we all enjoy here.  If anything, we should celebrate/thank them even more.[/quote]

Look I’m not PP but the idea that any of the children in APS missing school on Veterans Day are celebrating/thanking veterans is asinine. A program at school on Veterans Day focused on the sacrifices our veterans have made on our behalf would be at least incrementally more likely to develop gratitude for the sacrifices required by our service members and their families.

[/quote]+1.  Do a program at school to respect the holiday and move on.  Veteran's Day, Indigenous People's Day, MLK Day and President's Day can all be worked into the curriculum.[/quote]
