[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fine with school starting after Labor Day. The day everyone should petition the state to change is Easter Monday. That is not a holiday. No one goes to church that day or celebrates. That day could easily be reallocated elsewhere. Also, they could push back the end date in June a few days too. [/quote] You don't know much about local history. Easter Monday is a traditional African American day at the National Zoo and has been for many years (I just checked, this started in 1891). It's packed. This was started in the days when African Americans were not welcome at traditional Easter celebrations including Easter at the White House. It's still a big annual event for many black families from the metro region. It's often been called the Black Easter.
