[quote=Anonymous]Eliminating all religious holidays from the calendar does more to honor diversity than including only some of them. When the school system chooses to close schools on some religious holidays, someone is always going to be excluded. By making decisions to close schools only based on operations, everyone is treated fairly. I am also a devout Catholic, but I don't think Good Friday and Easter Monday should be school holidays. MCPS allows both students and staff to be absent from school on religious holidays, so everyone of every religion has the same opportunity to enjoy their own religious holidays if they'd like to make that a priority. It's so silly to say that "Trumpers" are trying to ban religious holidays or to say that anyone is on a crusade to get rid of these holidays for dishonorable reasons, when every person who has posted on this topic has explained their feeling that eliminating the holidays will create a greater equity across the school system.[/quote]
