[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before y’all yet too anti-immigrant on us…I’m an immigrant (Muslim) that’s married to another immigrant (Hindu) and I don’t want Divali, Eid, Chinese New Year and weeks off for Christmas! I want my children to be in school as much as possible throughout the school year. I sent them to a secular(public) school with that expectation that religious holidays should not result in school closures. [/quote] This. Most immigrants do not want all the cultural days off that the schools give them. They want their kids in school to learn, they want to work, and make the most of why they decided to be here in the first place. In my experience, it is usually the 2nd or 3rd gen plus the mainly white liberals who insist on doing the cultural and religious recognitions to pat themselves on the back. Of course, the immigrant communities then feel the repercussions of that resentment which is not fair. Enough. Fed holidays only. Keep the kids in school. [/quote]
