Wow! That is a stretch. How did we get - hey why do MCP schools have Jewish holidays off to being anti-semetic. Maybe you are just a little sensitive. It is rare in this country for a county to base days off of school to Jewish holidays. The simple answer is because alot of Jews live here. Period. No big deal.

Why do some schools in southern Virginia have crosses in them. Because they can and nobody complained yet. Would you?
While very few nations were willing to provide solace to Jews after the holocaust Maryland, specifically Montgomery County welcomed them and because of their generocity of nature it has become a wonderful and welcoming place for Jewish families to rasie their families.

I think you need to get over yourself a little.[/quote]

The original question was not anti-semetic, but some of the comments complaining by specifically pointing out that Jews are getting their holiday when others are not is anti-semetic.  The reason the day is off is purely logistics, just like teacher planning days give teachers time to prepare report cards.[/quote]
