It’s a lot easier when you are a religious school and don’t have to accommodate more than one religion’s holidays. [/quote]

The public school shouldn't be accommodating any religious holidays.  And before someone drags up Christmas, it's far more than than a religious holiday in the US.[/quote]

IOW, “I got mine. Screw everybody else.”

And don’t try to claim you don’t celebrate Christmas because it’s an anonymous message board. Nope. Sorry.[/quote]

Sure I celebrate Christmas.  So do a lot of people.  In fact, so many that the school system couldn't operate.  It's also a federal holiday.

Now, why don't you provide any evidence that says the same for any Jewish or Muslim holiday in Fairfax County?  Here's a hint:  There is none.[/quote]

This. It's such a ridiculous argument. When 80% of the country is off during this time, it's a pretty good reason to give school holidays. If less than 5% are off, it makes no sense to shut down. Diwali? Eid? RH, YK? Please. It's unnecessary.

Oh well. You’ll survive.[/quote]
