[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am not that PP but I think they meant that most immigrants in previous generations eventually assimilate to the main religions/cultures of this country, not that they have to. [b]And when they did initially come here, they didn't demand days off for their countries or religion's holidays. [/b] Now onto the slippery slope. So you are saying you don't expect your employer to close or the federal government to close but you expect an entire school district to close down, while all their parents are still at work that day? I am honestly asking you why? If you are requesting a day off at work instead of asking the whole office to close and missing said work to celebrate a holiday, why can't your kids just get an excused absence and miss the day of school to celebrate, same as you? Why force 95+% of the other kids to have a day off? I am honestly curious. [/quote] Actually, they did. What's more, they even demanded their own schools.[/quote]
