[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the love of God, the kids will never be in school in Fall at this rate. Google says this is an Oct/Nov holiday. We have enough days off then already.

I disagreed with the Ramadan decision too though. We simply cannot recognize every single holiday anyone in the county might be celebrating. So long as kids can take the day off and not be penalized for missing things I do not see why a holiday is needed. [/quote]

I hear you on the number of days, but then we should cancel Christmas, and only celebrate secular and federal holidays. I don't think the answer is f*ck you and your non-Christian holiday, which is essentially what the norm is. [/quote]

83 percent of Americans are Christians; 13 percent have no religion.  I'd guess that many in that 13 percent (such as myself) are culturally "Christian" in that we celebrate Christmas in a secular way.  So, acting like all religious holidays in this country have the same impact and should be treated the same way is asinine.  It really is OK for the US to keep its own traditions. [/quote]
