[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why was the name removed from the calendar?[/quote] Because it's too hard and complicated to acknowledge other religious groups? [/quote] Because MCPS should not be acknowledging any religious groups. Including Christians.[/quote] But they are if they are essentially excusing absences for religious holidays. What if there was high absenteeism for opening day of the baseball season. Would they just take that day off the school calendar? No. They are acknowledging that religious holidays are a valid reason to be absent from school. [/quote] I grew up in a small rural town in PA. We always (and they still do) had the first day of deer season off because of high absenteeism. So yes, if there were a high absenteeism for a particular day (like opening day) then I would have no problem making that an official day off.[/quote] The same in a small rural town in Wisconsin.[/quote]
