[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s embarrassing is you trying to make this a big deal when you literally know nothing about Eid and apparently think it’s like Christmas where it occurs the exact same day every calendar year . Exactly zero people are bothered by it being moved from Tuesday to Monday once the official date the holiday for our hemisphere was announced [/quote]

This is false. Lots of people made plans and appointments for the day off school and no it shouldn’t be changed a month out. [/quote]

I had a dr’s appointment planned for Monday and childcare lined up for Tuesday. So now I’m trying to reschedule things and may have to burn some leave if my childcare can’t be rearranged.

I don’t think I should have to possibly burn PTO and reschedule medical stuff to accommodate people’s religious beliefs. In fact, I don’t think the school calendar should be linked to any religion at all. And FWIW I’d be equally annoyed if suddenly Good Friday or whatever led to school calendar changes. Give people floating holidays instead of Christmas as a national holiday. Whatever. Just stop expecting others to cater to manmade beliefs. This country is too diverse to keep accommodating all this nonsense.

Yes. I haven’t met anyone in real life that agrees with all the holidays being off from school. We are a Jewish family and kids take off as needed just like they do when they’re sick. We don’t expect the whole school to revolve around our religion. If there are a sizeable number of staff or kids that will be out for a holiday then make it a no school day. And if it makes sense for some schools vs others that okay too. I cannot believe the so-called democratic school board thinks this aligns with liberal values. This type of nonsense makes me want to vote them all out. [/quote]
