Jewish people are the only ones who got their way and have 2 of their holidays sometimes in the middle of the week completely off.  It is ridiculous.  I don't blame the Muslims for being pissed.  So what are going to be the reasons we have off in September twice next year?   What are they going to put on those days off if they aren't religious-based. Just because a few small areas in Rockville/Potomac/Bethesda have Jews doesn't mean the entire county has to be off for 2 days.  Easter is on a Sunday, Christmas is over winter break which includes New Years.  [b]There are no Christian holidays the county is off for.[/b]   Religious holidays are an excused absence but no reason why the whole county needs off.   [/quote]

Except for Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter Monday.

If you want to know what MCPS is going to put on the calendar, read the Washington Post article.[/quote]

So lets take away Spring Break and Winter Break.  Would that make the Jews happy?   :roll: [/quote]
