[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think that this push is not so much about time to celebrate religious holidays, as it is a desire for recognition and equivalence with what they perceive that larger groups have. The public schools can't close for every obscure minority here. If that is a huge problem for some group, then perhaps they should move back to a country where the state officially sanctions their religious holidays.[/quote] "Obscure minority"? Please think about what you're saying here. The groups that are asking for recognition from Montgomery County are: Muslims, people with a family origin in India, and people with a family origin in East Asia. And many members of these groups can't "move back" to any country -- these members were born here, just like (I'm assuming) you.[/quote]
